Vote For Tom Ryan: One Last Time at The Broadwater

I have not seen the other Tom Ryan shows, but this is the other shows with an added third act. Vote For Tom Ryan follows Tom Ryan who is in the midst of running for high school president. He, and his classmates, take this election as serious as if it were the U.S Presidential Election. From there, comedy ensues. I thought it is a smart, sharp, and charming comedy with a grounded premise and what I loved most was the commitment of the characters/actors.

Sister Bernadette Runs The Light

Sister Bernadette gets the part started! A wonderful show and Stellar performance from Indiana Wilson who keeps us laughing nonstop. I had no idea what to expect, but am glad I joined the fun. Wilson makes for a charming and confident performer, creating a character that lets her express many different talents. I liked how, while fully in character, the Sister could interact with audience members. A short, balanced work of comedy. No notes!

Bless This Jess at The Broadwater

A blend of history and mental health, with surprising and insightful twists. Jessica Martin takes us through the history of Joan of Arc while also detailing his life, finding parallels. I could not help but think of Joseph Campbell’s saying, “Find your myth” and Jess sharing the synchronicity that comes with it. There is the saying, “You can give a guy a fish, or you can teach him how to fish” but Jess teaches us how to want to find out more about fishing, ignites our curiosity, through her journey in what i can call, the best history class I have attended in years! She is an engaging presenter and sprinkles humor in at the right moments with balanced trasitions.
