Audience Responses

Wonderful, engaging acting. Challenging, but very interesting material.

The substance is complex and the acting was superior. There was not a weak actor at all.

Superb cast. Handling Stoppard lines and pacing is a challenge which this cast did so well while also creating their characters. Excellent directing. One of the strongest productions I’ve seen in the Springs.

Superb performance by the actors, Stoppard's play writing was truly represented in the performance.

The play was exhilarating and the actors were outstanding.

Set, cast, props, and direction were all outstanding. Arcadia is OUTSTANDING and is Stoppard’s best play. I loved the entire experience.

So many wonderful words! The cast did a great job!

Excellent venue for Stoppard. Acting superb.

It stuck with me and made me ask very big questions about life, the universe, and mathematical models!

The performers make good work of the dense dialogue, the time shifts, and the intelligence and humor of Stoppard's work.

It was one of the most thought provoking productions I’ve seen

Brilliant. From the opening lines to the uplit dancers, I was charmed.

Such a treasure of a play. Great job of highlighting the complexities of the script and characters. Terrific casting and acting.

Stoppard! Cast excellent. So many layers. Lots to discover as an audience and as actors.

I had to be on my toes to follow but enjoyed it so much.

The show was engaging and funny, and it also made you think about what you were witnessing. Phenomenal!

Acting and directing were excellent. The script was complex and yet no one dropped a line. Even the set was perfect.

Excellent performance. Really left you thinking.

I was very impressed by all the actors in this play. By far the best that I've seen

Great choice! Great acting! Great metal exercise!

Loved the scenes where past and present actor were together on stage. They ignored each other very well. [note from Caitlin: I just couldn't resist this comment!]

A tour de force - took a great amount of brain power to keep up. Poignant ending- teary eyes
