Same business owners always causing a ruckus at the expense of doing something new and exciting to…Read More bring LIFE back into an aging village. The Village should try doing something fun and different. Other area Village's have day & evening events where the streets are closed to motorists and are packed with people.

It's too bad they cancelled. On that night , town is packed with people walking down the street…Read More anyway and parking on Main Street is non-existent.( on a good day). I would think people would wander more into the stores from the concert if no traffic was around.

I was so excited about it I volunteered that night. It was a true Riverhead Renaissance. Everyone…Read More was like an extra on a Hollywood set for a 30s film. Once the music kicked off that evening we all went back in time and danced to the unforgettable music of Vince Giordano and the Night Hawks. Lets keep it going. Thanks so much to the staff, Bob and Diane and all the volunteers it was a huge success and a truly memorable evening I will never foget. Gail Zappone

ALL media awards are worthless + meaningless... in fact, they're a scourge on society.

OK JOE, not going to ask how you found this blog but will answer you questions, but first did your…Read More daughters enjoy the show??? I hope so since you spent hard earned bucks on your daughters. You know I loved the words, Tennessee Williams words, now as for accents, well being someone who worked in Manhattan for 30 years, I figure actors create accents. So i guess being from Alabama you are more official on that than I. As for stage direction, perhaps you have a point , and as for the set, I thought it was OK to use the one large one. As for asses exposed, that flimsy night gown was also most revealing.

I wish I could agree with T.J. I took my 2 teenage daughters who were looking forward to seeing Ms.…Read More Johansson more than a great play. I was looking for both. We did not find our performance engaging, but rather flat, and people did leave during our performance.
I am not very knowedgeable about plays, just a tourist from Alabama, but I was underwhelmed. I cannot easily put my finger on what was amiss, but I thought the quick repartee was odd. I don't know any southerners who talk that way.
The constant movement of the cast around the set seemed odd. And why only one set? Everything "happens," not that much does, in the bedroom.
Brick did not sell me. At best, he seemed aloof or maybe just disinterested in Maggie, but not in any kind of inner turmoil over his past or his current situation.
Ms. Johansson was much better, but still something was missing. As a middle aged guy, I was quite taken by her, but not her character. I did not get a great deal of angst or desire. And if someone must bare their tush, must it be Brick?

Hard to imagine Scarlett Johansson as Maggie the Cat. Your indication that Ms. Johansson was a…Read More "softer" Maggie makes me wonder if she is capable of showing the hardness and brittleness that I think of as essential to Maggie's character (due to prior portrayals that I have seen.) But I would enjoy being surprised!
The Brick character is always a tough part. His principle affect is languor and actors who can't evoke his inner torment make him seem inert. Your characterization of his performance as "strong and deliberate" makes me wonder if Benjamin Walker pulled it off successfully.
I've never paid much attention to the rest of the characters, "Big Daddy" included. They're all rather stereotypical and easy. All the action is between Maggie and Brick.
In the final analysis, it MUST have been a good show. A bad "Cat On A Hot Tin Roof" is interminable and you said that nobody walked out.
Thanks for the review & Merry Christmas!

Notice how no one responds to the question of native americans? Euros were the first illegal…Read More immigrants and we decimated the indegenous population, we won so the rest of yall are illegals now...we enslaved africans for 500 years but its ok cause we gave you rights 45yrs ago...and obama should have to show his birth certificate to make sure hes not an illegal, cause you know all white folks n america are natural citizens just by lookin at em....oh and mitt pays 14% tax and has offshore accounts and bush's buddies made billions off 9/11 but obamas the one wit rich buddies screwing america, but its ok to let the poor die off in the name of capitalism cause pretty soon even mcdonalds will be automated and we wont need any of you illegal or otherwise......our incredibly short selective memories help us sleep at night and our blind selfish dedication to ourselves makes it easy to
applaud ourselves for our humanitarian efforts regarding all ethnicites as long as those interest are profitable, and anybody that disagrees is not only unpatriotic but probably a terrorist...

Why so much effort to deport this guy when others are arrested for committing crimes and then…Read More released...? The justice system speaks out of both sides of its mouth... One rule for some does not apply to others... Complete HorseSh*t...!!!

LS... Redefining an illegal act doesn't make it any less (how can I say this without offending?)…Read More ILLEGAL!!! Many who have problems with those you call undocumanted wouldn't mind if they went through proper channels and assimilated into society. It's not bias or bigotry or anything other than seeing that tolerating such behavior has underlying negativity.
This issue, in general, has had a dramatic impact on our country. Instead of putting more people into jobs related to legal immigration, we put more on the boarder to try and stop them (which ain't working) and, as in any violation of any law, the penalty has to outweigh the crime in order for it to be effective. But allowing a sub-culture into our society and expecting law abiding citizens to pay and accept is simply wrong.
Why is it we don't see other languages written on "everything"? are we bias against those from other countries and cultures?
I applaude those who come here to become a "part of" and if the talent and work provides them wealth, well... that is the American dream but to see this country as an easy mark in which to come to, grab what you can and go back home, we're all going to suffer in the long run. Again, welcome if you wish to be "part of"(read Citizen) a great nation, but do so properly and we need our system to adjust to make it so you can.

that's true there are good and bad immigrants but clearly in our eyes Praq Rado is…Read More not a bad one he is working with the most respected filmmakers out there that they won an Emmy and Oscars for their work, and Rado opened doors for us that live in American, I got to work on Dreaming American film that is based on his life and I'm American.
