REVIEWS
“It’s easy to understand why Celia Frank.. said she was thrilled to cast Pherbia Engdahl as Rose Stern. Engdahl exudes passion as Rose, which can be seen as she travels through her real and imaginary worlds. Larry Fairall might play a ghost, but his performance is full of life.” – TAMARA McCLARAN, Shorelines | READ FULL ARTICLE…
“James Bennett is perfectly cast as Clancy. This talented actor did his first stage role ever in 2007 and already has done three shows.. Maggie Martin is back on the ABET stage for a second time.. The role of Arlene really shows off her talents, especially in ACT II, she has some very good dramatic moments as she reveals secrets of her past. – DICK KEREKES, eu Jacksonville | READ FULL ARTICLE…
