The Tin Woman
BCP at The Rock
Fri/Sat 5 PM, Sun 2 PM �This week and next week
Have you ever been to a movie so affecting that the audience didn't want to leave the theater when it was over?
So it was at the Thursday final dress rehearsal for The Tin Woman, the latest creation of our BCP director par excellence, Gabrielle Reynolds. Sparkling performances by the entire cast bring this emotional story to life with poignant humor and heartfelt compassion. Not to be missed.
While all of the performances were outstanding, I have to call out the lynchpin part of Alice, played by Holly Carr. Her part as the mother of a young woman killed in a car accident, whose heart is transplanted into another young woman, is right in her wheelhouse, and boy, does she deliver.
Every member of the cast is exceptional in their part. Just like we did last night, you will be cheering and clapping for each of them as they make their curtain calls. Talking about their parts too much would give away the plot, so let me mention them by name.
Kicking off the story, Maya Gonzales lights up the stage in a hilarious sendup of the peripatetic nurse from hell. Michelle Moore takes the lead role and takes us on a splendid roller coaster ride of emotional catharsis. Pam McDonald is always a delight to watch and is emerging as one of Gabriella's troupe of local superstars.
Kathy Reeser is perfect with her energetic "always look on the bright side" role, and Renee Miller is an ethereal and very well done presence throughout. Finally but hardly least, Patrick Reynolds, a veteran actor and the only male in the cast, provides the perfect foil for the plot as the angry, depressed, and acerbic father of the accident victim.
To sum it up, high quality serious community theater is happening in Boquete - thanks to the tireless efforts of Gabriella and Patrick Reynolds, and their dedicated crew of sound engineers, set builders, and the lovely and very pleasant theater provided by The Rock.
The magic of community theater is seeing people you know, your friends and neighbors, performing like professionals right in front of your eyes.
You too can volunteer and help build this community enterprise. Whatever your chosen role, you will make new friends and take pride in your accomplishments. Only you can put the community in community theater.
In the meantime, come out and see this excellent play.
