Reviews for the Sept. 28th through October 14th, 2007 performances
at the beautiful La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts

LOS ANGELES TIMES-RECOMMENDED
Daryl H. Miller

"The show hits a marketing sweet spot. It plays to the vast baby boom generation that has embraced such shows as "Menopause" and "Boomers," but its appeal isn't limited to that audience. As with "Avenue Q"...the topics here are universal."


CITY BEAT-THEATRE CRITIC'S CHOICE
Don Shirley
"...the show's dramatic highlight is 'Child Is Father to the Man' "... "the gifted quintet (Eileen Barnett, David Holmes, Robert Loftin, Diane Vincent and Robert Yacko, directed by Joel Bishoff) generates a bumper crop of good will and laughs."


EVENT NEWS
Joseph Sirota
The pleasing musical comedy review TOO OLD FOR THE CHORUS...works well, offering an entertaining, yet touching look at real life issues...this show is also a lighthearted, predominantly funny, "Review" with a very real message -- "Hey, World, Don't Count Us Out, Yet!"


"Dog Passages" Slide Show

LONG BEACH PRESS TELEGRAM
A.K. Whitney
"The show written by Mark Winkler, Marie Cain and Shelly Markham, directed by Joel Bishoff...is amusing, well-acted and occasionally poignant."

"Then there are the heart tugging moments, such as Glenn's ode to his dogs, past and present. David Holmes' performance on Dog Passages made the gent in the next seat tear up."


PASADENA STAR NEWS
Frances Baum
"... Too Old for the Chorus rides far higher than any other salute to this age group one has seen in the southland."


BACKSTAGE WEST
Les Spindle
"
The performers are adept actor-dancers, bringing energy, fun and occasional poignancy to the proceedings."

"Baby Boomers will find resonance and uplift... in this unpretentiously enjoyable valentine to aging contentedly."
