“Featuring smart, quick-paced and balanced direction by Gary John La Rosa…”

“Director-choreographer La Rosa keeps the show moving along and balances his stage quite nicely, painting some very pretty pictures with his actors. Vanamo’s musical direction is, like La Rosa’s work, impressive as always. …the cast delivers solid performances throughout.”

“…Annie Warbucks is quite a worthwhile venture.”
