A Look Back at CCTC in 2007
In 2007 we began our Four Wall Theatre
program. We collaborated with the Drexel
Mandell Professionals in Residence Project on
the production of Shakespeare’s, LOVE’S
LABOR’S LOST. We honored our commitment
to financially accessible theatre with a top
ticket price of $10. All students paid only $5.
Our reviews were excellent including The
Bulletin:
“This play has been brought to life in a delightful and
compelling production by the Commonwealth Classic
Theatre Company, … directed by CCTC artistic
associate director Joshua L. Browns, … a production
crackling with energy and humor. …Standouts include
CCTC actor Allen Radway as Berowne, the most
outspoken and manly bachelor of the King's group.
John Jezior shines as Don Armado, a hilariously
lovelorn Spaniard.”
We continued our signature program, Free
Theatre in the Parks, with THE GAME OF
LOVE AND CHANCE. This production was
performed in parks throughout the 5-Counties
of Philadelphia.
Our review in City Paper was glowing.:
“Outdoor Summer Theater hasn't caught on in our
area, but Commonwealth Classic Theatre Company
might change that. Their touring production of The
Game of Love and Chance plays in nine area parks
(weather permitting) and, judging from last Saturday
evening's show in Chestnut Hill's Pastorius Park, will
succeed in all of them. The cast's vivid performances
make every moment clear, and the 100-minute play
zips by prettily.”
And, to top it all off, we helped Philadelphia get
into the “spirit” of the holiday season with our
Readers Theatre presentation of Charles
Dickens’, A CHRISTMAS CAROL which was,
for the first time, performed, outdoors and free
to all, at the 2007 LOVE Park Christmas Tree
Lighting Celebration.
