“Las Cruces Community Theatre’s latest staged production is a thoughtful and entertaining look at flawed humanity and its search for redemption through truth. Sounds heavy, and it is, but it also presents a refreshingly original night of compelling theatre with a skill and verve rarely seen on community stages.”
“In the end, Once serves the purpose of illustrating a new phase of regional theatre being presented by young, passionate performers injecting much-needed enthusiasm into the mix. Longtime theatergoers take note. If you haven’t experienced Blank Conversations Theatre Company yet, you’re missing out on a revolution in the making.”
“The audience didn’t just get to see the rain splash and sparkle as these three young and wonderful stars danced, sang and twirled umbrellas – we experienced it in a way that only live theater – and in this case, really outstanding live theater – can do.”
“A play and playwright that won a Pulitzer Prize and multiple Tony Awards, an outstanding cast, a stunning set and costumes and one of the finest directors at any theater venue I have ever been to, make for a great evening of entertainment.”
“Go see this show. You may or may not learn anything about American history; you most certainly will have a great time and laugh a lot…Gold stars all around for these wonderful actors and this outstanding crew.”
