Press Release

ACTF Critique

A haunting American folk tale. Perfect for the Halloween season. A cast of more than 30 entertained  with legend, music, and thrills. The production was MC's 1999 American College Theatre Festival entry.  Selected to compete in the Irene Ryan competition in Milwaukee in January were Geoff Edwards (Preacher Haggler) and John Stevens (Marvin Hudgens).  Both actors performed very well in the ACTF competition.

An outstanding Broadway and London hit, Dark of the Moon is a powerful fantasy in a setting of the Smoky Mountains. It achieves that rare combination of being spectacular and at the same time intimate and intense. Its 'hillbilly' dialect has the strangely moving poetic quality of a folk-ballad."                                                              --Players Magazine
