I've attended three performances and each has been unique, entertaining, enlightening, and encouraging. The commitment witnessed by all involved is refreshing.
Joe mentioned early in our discussions that each performance is different. I believed him when he said it, but now I've experienced it. It's like a basketball game. Everybody has their position (role), they all do their jobs, but when somebody gets hot it makes everybody raise their game.
Smaller local theater groups struggle for funding, identity, recognition and butts in the seats. When one considers the vast array of entertainment options, it's not surprising, but it remains disappointing.
By definition this blog is winding down. The stated original intent was to take you from preparation through performance. There are three performances remaining: 8:00 pm Friday and Saturday, and 2:00 pm Sunday. So...I encourage you to take a couple of hours, go to 160 Fountain NE, and put your butt in a seat. It'll be two hours well-spent.

SPENCER TRACY
Spencer Tracy played the role of Henry Drummond in the 1960 movie version of "Inherit the Wind". During two different periods in 1924 and 1925 Spencer Tracy lived in Grand Rapids. At that time he was part of a stock theater group owned by William Wright. The Wright Company occasionally tested plays for Broadway. While in Grand Rapids, they did repertory work, sometime doing a different play every week!
