All the cast of “A Buffet of Plays” were amazing. The performances were extremely entertaining and very thought provoking.
We greatly appreciate all the time and efforts that the cast, crew, and directors invested to provide the audiences with such a wonderful opportunity to see local, live theatre and outstanding, exceptional entertainment.

My wife and I are visiting family here in Brainerd and she was astute enough to get us tickets for The Gin Game. It was everything you could want in a production of this great play: funny, intense, and by the end a bit scary. Patrick Spradlin and Laura Busch had perfect chemistry. Great work all around. ~ Tom Marcinko

My husband and I saw Sylvia, Nuts, and I Can't Hear You When The Water's running. Each cast in each show was amazing to watch - Erin as Sylvia perfectly depicted what we think our dog is saying and her mannerisms were spot on. I got verklempt during the end when Brian updated the future with Sylvia. Brian is always wonderful to watch in any production. Baird switching roles was hilarious - fluid indeed.
Nuts was incredible - especially the woman playing Claudia Faith (sorry I don't have my playbill handy so I can't remember her name). Her acting was so emotional - I was blown away by her talent. Her attorney was also great - saying "he was new at this" but then hammering hard questions to each witness.
The Sunday I Can't Hear You short stories were also very enjoyable. Especially "I'm Herbert". I was laughing but also thinking "Dear Lord, this is probably my future." The mattress shopping set was thought provoking as well - Blake being rather creepy at the end - thinking he would hook up with the younger women - eewww. And how sad he was during "I'll be home for Christmas". Blake is a talented actor switching roles easily and making you believe each character.
My only critique was the actress playing Brian's wife in Sylvia, and then later in the mattress shopping show - her tone of voice was a little grating, and it didn't change at all in each show she was in. Maybe that was the intent of each character?
All in all, I've never been disappointed in any show by ART.

I'd like to thank Beth Selinger and her cast for a truly amazing, evocative performance on Sat. September 6th of Tom Topor's 'Nuts'. Script in hand--not an issue. All of us in the audience felt shaken and left with an understanding of the importance of our common humanity. Wonderful job, everyone.

We attended “The Dining Room” last evening and loved, loved every minute of the play! The acting is unbelievably wonderful,
the stories are mostly hilarious with a few serious well done scenes. How fortunate we are to have this level of talent from the actors to directors and entire crew!! Thank you, thank you! Tom & Patty
