Last night to catch "The Cherry Orchard"

At the Presbyterian Church at 8 p.m.

Get there early to listen to the music. You don't want to miss this one.

Westminster Hall at the church, which will be the beneficiary of the proceeds of these performances, has been transformed by visionary staging. The costumes, lighting and music are all top notch. Even the acoustics, which are the first priority of any renovations to be done, have been improved by the set. But it is the acting that is the real clincher for this production. Marcia Nowik's direction, which takes the play back to the comedic roots of Chekhov's script, and her acting in the lead role, along with a strong supporting cast, make this a truly professional production worthy of a larger venue, and pointing out how theater arts in this town have truly suffered for lack of rehearsal and performance space.

A magical performance. Bravo!
