Joyce McWilliams raves about the Elite Theatres newest original production
Eubanks' new play showing in Oxnard
Author: Joyce McWilliams Ojai Valley News contributor
Ojai Valley playwright Tom Eubanks' play, "Perfect
Quiet Place," is now playing at the Elite Theatre's Petit Playhouse in
Oxnard through May 27.
Eubanks has written several plays,
"American Right," premiere Elite Theatre, "Self Storage,"
premiere SPT, and is presently working on a new play, "In the Midst of All
That Was." His novel, "Worlds Apart," was released in 2010 and
he has just completed his second novel, "The Plunge." Eubanks is a
two-time REP award winner: Best Actor in a Comedy Performance, 2000; and
Director for "Equis" in 2001.
"Perfect Quiet Place," a psychodrama, has some spine-chilling
moments and mysterious unravelings as we share in the plights of the three
young students presented by Andrea Muller (Hannah), Hayley Silvers (Logan) and
Annie Sherman (Deidre).
Fine ensemble performances are given by
all three. Michael Chandler as Marshall was well-cast in this ambiguous, eerie
role.
The entire cast gave each character its
unique quality and each was totally believable. Sound and lighting design is by
Ojai's own Steve Grumette and the set design by is by Bob Decker.
There are some surprising turnabouts in
the plot that will keep you on the edge of your seat. I don't wish to reveal
too much of the story and spoil your fun, especially if you're a mystery lover.
This play is unusual and mysterious from beginning to end, thanks to playwright
Eubanks and director Brian Robert Harris.
The Elite Theatre company is a member
ofthe Four Star Theater Alliance which includes:Ojai Art Center Theater, Santa
Paula Theater Center, Camarillo Skyway Theater, Conejo Players'Theater, and the
High Street Arts Center.
