Las Cruces Community Theatre Reviews

     In past performances, experience was excellent.

   It was amazing!! Margot was especially great!

     Excellent production. Norm Lewis is such a gift to this town. He has done so many great productions here. Diary of Anne Frank

   Easy to purchase tickets online. Small intimate theater.

    Excellent performance!

   Absolutely stunning performance! The entire caste is amazing, and worked so well together that is was easy to imagine you were there with them. What a moving play! And the performance was, in my opinion, as good as any professional performance could be.

   What a stunning, creative production. I am so glad there was a sell out as it is a not to be missed performance we need to see and hear. Thank you.

  LCCT never fails to provide excellent productions and "The Diary of Anne Frank" was no exception. Cast was nothing short of perfection. Director, Norman Lewis, seems to excel at drawing out the best from each actor. Even the costumes! Overheard the group behind us speaking about the costumes. One lady said, "Look! The women are wearing hose that have a seam running the back of their legs, just like they wore in those days!"

   A courageous, impactful and meaningful performance well executed by all the performers.."I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are good at heart"....I will repeat this to myself every morning and practice it in my life. Thank you!!

     My friend and I were moved by the performance. I’ve read the book and watched the film presentation of this sad story. However, it was very emotional bei present while listening th all the sounds associated with the family’s situation, I cried. It was very moving. The set was done well too. Thank you for presenting this performance.

     It was a great interpretation. Wished Anne had had a headset mic to be able to hear her clearly.

 Unequivocally excellent!  The cast totally nailed this performance - they delivered the strength, despair, deep inner feelings and monologues of the true, historical figures in hiding. Heart wrenching and fantastic delivery.

 Extremely well done, soul stirring, and worth all 115 minutes! The young woman portraying Anne Frank is outstanding. I would encourage everyone to see this show to help them better understand how hate and fascism can permiate and subsequently destroy a society. A true and cautionary work with perfect timing. Thank you, LCCT.

   I was speechless! The entire production evoked the strongest of emotions! From the set design to the superb performance of each cast member! Thank you for giving such high quality theatre to our community.

       It was educational and entertaining learning so much about these unique women as portrayed by exceptional actors.

   Excellent acting and well put together by the director. Keeping the audience attention, while reading scripts from previous letters sent from the 2 women to each other, was very skillful!

   Informative—I never knew about the relationship. It was well done and I enjoyed it as a staged reading.

   What a great play! So thrilled when theater like this comes to Cruces. We will be back in October for The Diary of Anne Frank.

   More productions like this would be certainly welcome.

   This stage reading was fascinating to watch/hear, more so because we had visited Georgia O’Keefe’s home in Abiququ. These readings helped us learn the complete the history! The actors were top notch as well!

   See comment above.

   Wonderful presentation..wasn't too excited about getting tickets, but sooo glad we did. I learned alot and totally enjoyed it..very well done. Thank you!

   Well constructed play, insightful and informative with terrific acting of all 3 women.

   This play was excellent! Mia Berkson was amazing! The director Norman Lewis did a fabulous job of directing and the cast was excellent!!!

   We loved this one soooo much! It hits different as an adult, and both the young and seasoned actors made this tough piece of history come to life! Bravo! We couldn’t believe this was opening night as it went off without a hitch!

     What a wonderfully fun evening with a cast full of detailed characterizations, beautiful costumes, and great ensemble numbers of song and dance, along with stunning solos.

   Costumes were fabulous!!!

   Worth more than twice the price! Beautiful costumes and great fun to watch and listen. Reading the Wilder play before hand helped to follow this wonderfull farce. in all, funny and fun!!!

   Came to see my daughter playing Cornelius, and was blown away by the whole cast! What a bright, funny, and energetic performance! I laughed and cried. This was a wonderful production by the Las Cruces Community Theatre!

   Amazing show that my wife was in! Love LCCT! Bob

     Great show

 Our expectations were admittedly high - Sound of Music was Broadway caliber theater, and we were primed for a similar experience with Sister Act. Alas, not to be . . . Delores is the anchor of the show and this actor simply didn't have the talent for that role. And she was flat!!! Speaking of flat, Sweatie Eddie was also flat but his performance was redeemed by a clever costume. the nuns chorus was excellent as was Curtis (?) the gangster. We left at intermission.

   Delightful! Funny! Las Cruces has so much talent!

     Wonderful presentation of this classic in a small setting!

     Interesting and thoughtful conversations throughout this play, really liked the conclusion. Admired the character actors who did an excellent job of memorizing an incredible amount of dialog. It seemed a little long, so am grateful there was no intermission to draw it out.

  The actors did a fine job of preforming this play. I think plays that are not really appealing to the larger community enjoyment are things that a small venue, such as LCCT, are better off not doing. The references were too obscure to be understood, therefore are not enjoyable to most. One critic I offer to the actors is to slow down, the lines fly by so quickly it is hard to follow.

   Fantastic show! The actors were believable in their roles and very entertaining. How did they remember all that dialogue??

     Amazing script and acting by all three with special kudos to the portrayal of Charles Dickens. One negative comment - the banner hanging with “discord” from the Psalms in the Bible - can’t find it in the Psalms . . . pretty sure it’s from the Bible book of Proverbs🤔

   subject matter a bit off color, not was what expected. But all in all, the cast were amazing!
