Local Review: Williamsburg Players’ “The Best Man”

November 11, 2016 By Nicholas Thornburg

Prior to seeing this show, I was familiar with playwright Gore Vidal by reputation only, and had not seen a production by the Williamsburg Players at all. I must say, they’ve both made one hell of a good first impression. … [Read more...]

October 3, 2016 By Nina Martin

I had only seen one show at the new home of the Williamsburg Players prior to seeing the Saturday matinee of Jekyll and Hyde: The Producers in 2011, immediately after the space was completed. Knowing the resources that went into the facility, and being a techie at heart, I was looking forward to seeing what could be accomplished in the space. … [Read more...]
