Audiences Love THE FRONT PAGE – Performance Tomorrow – Three This Weekend

Extra! Extra! Read All About It!

Dateline Falls Church – April 11, 2018, It is another hit from the Providence Players. More than 400 theatergoers enjoyed the third production in the Providence Players 20th anniversary season, the classic comedy The Front Page.  Audience members raved about the acting  with one theatergoer commenting “The dialog is so faced paced and the actors so natural, they pull you into their world. You feel like it is 1928 in Chicago.” Period perfect costumes by Christian Faulkner and an outstanding set designed by multiple WATCH Award winning designer John Coscia (who is also outstanding on stage as reporter Murphy) and decorated and outfitted by Beth Harrison and Robbie Snow (both also multiple WATCH award winners) helps immerse you the Roaring Twenties. But the key to this classic comedy’s success is the direction of Michael Donahue who quite simply has the cast “crackin it” from opening curtain to the final bow. Each of the performances, from the lead actors to the smallest of supporting roles, is a gem on the James Lee Community Center stage. It is a must-see Providence Players production.
