I could write a lot about how good each performer was. I certainly could. Especially about how they functioned as a tight ensemble. Also, I could write how good the band was. I mean, they were pretty fantastic.
Not going to. Nope.
What I will say is that in the world in which we find ourselves today, you absolutely need to go and see Come From Away at Lincoln Community Playhouse.
It’s really not an option. The link to get your tickets is here, and below as well. So, stop reading and click already.
If now is not the time that we need reminding that somewhere, sometime people were caring, generous, compassionate to strangers…I can’t even finish that sentence. It is definitely that time.
All is not lost. It’s pretty bleak from day to day, yes. But people will come to the aid of those in need. Those people exist. We all need a refresher in the idea of kindness, empathy, and for God’s sake, connection. And Come From Away is a proverbial punch in the gut.
It fires on all cylinders. Every aspect of the production is tight, yada yada.
Just go get your damn tickets, now.
Thank you, LCP, keep telling your stories. We need them, now more than ever.
Oh yes, and take a donation along, LCP is having a Come From Away drive to help provide basic items to those who need them here in the community. Bring personal hygiene items or food to the show. Check their website for specifics, lincolnplayhouse.com.
When you go: You can catch Come from Away August 9, 15, 16, 22, 23 at 7:30 pm and August 10, 17, 24 at 2:00 pm. Reservations are encouraged and can be made online.
