My space is too limited to extol the virtues of the entire cast, but I recommend you note the performances o fKeith Mueller, who plays Perapont, the porter and Linda
Roper, who plays Anfisa, the dedicated nanny.


Awful lovies, but all done superbly
Linda Macintosh as Dotty Otley and Jimmy Chisholm as Lloyd Dallas in Noises Off at the Brunton Theater.

Catch a 'Cabaret'

Linda Roper as Fraulein and Jeffrey Scully as Schultz create an endearing and heartbreaking subplot.  All of the performers carry themselves with an exacting and polished professionalism that is a pleasure to see.

Mama mia Luke O'Neill is touched by 'I Remember Mama',
...Linda Roper is particularly excellent as Mama, driving the action wth her convincing portrayal of a Norwegian immigrant dedicated wholly to her family.  Roper makes what could be a difficult role seem effortless.

and
A few of the actors struggle with the difficult Norwegian accent, with only Roper providing a flawless rendition...

 


I could go on and on now about Linda Roper in the titile role but space would not allow me to adquately express my admiration for the fabulous job that she did in the role of Mama. She had it all going on .  Her mannerisms, the accent, each inflection and gesture all came together to create a  seamless portrayal of a woman who is as ordinary as she is extraordinary, just like most moms.  I'm getting weepy now, just thinking about that scene when Katrin's passage into womanhood is marked by her first cup of coffee.  Ms. Roper's preparation of that cup of coffee was a masterful job of acting.

With Anne are Linda Macintosh as Constance Mozart...


Chillingly convincing performances here from Linda Macintosh,...
