PHANTOM OF THE OPERA
Larry J. - Being a fan of POTO, I was impressed by the non musical, a few songs were sung, performance of this play. The actors were excellent, the stage and props were very good and the direction was superb. The theater house itself, acoustics and lighting were very good. First time to this location but won't be my last.
Karla S. - An excellent performance. The cast was wonderful and it was a truly enjoyable experience.
JOSEPH K. - Another good performance. Enjoyed it so much.
Michelle F. - The actors did a great job on the Phantom of the Opera play. The theater was quaint and personal. I almost felt like I was part of the play. I highly recommend this for a fun evening out. Thank you for great experience.
David R. - We had a great time.The production was great.
Bev H. - We had another fabulous time at the citadel....BRAVO! The music the makeup the lighting and of course the acting we're phenomenal
OUR TOWN
Michael M. - The play was well cast with great technical skill and impeccable timing. Bravo.
Jeff S. - Very enjoyable afternoon! Another great performance by everyone. I love the small, intimate venue. Great value.
Joyce G. - Staff was very accommodating for elderly wheelchair and walker attendees. They both benefited from the hearing assistance devices you provided them. I saw the show 3 times and enjoyed it more each time. The actors were spot on each time and the sound effects were impressively precise. Thank you to each of you that shared your talents to make such a successful production. Will be back!
michelle D. - Wonderful performances! We had a great time!
Steve A. - I enjoyed the play and the message to appreciate our lives today. The production was well done, entertaining and professional. I did have trouble hearing and understanding some of the dialogue, especially the younger female actors. It was especially difficult when the actors were facing away from me. I look forward to the next production. Thanks!
John Considine - This was a wonderful production of an old classic, Our Town. While it seems that everyone I know has seen the show, I'd never seen it so I was totally surprised at the startling twist and turn that brought home the theme and message the playwright clearly wanted to portray. I love community theater and have acted in numerous shows in other parts of the country. This was my first experience with Stage Left and I found the acting truly excellent. I'm sure you have at least two or three actors who could easily turn professional. I'll be back.
Craig M. - Loved it. Haven’t visited Grover’s Corner in 50 years. One of the best productions I’ve seen in a very long time. I appreciated the safety precautions taken to assure cast and audience safety. First play I’ve been to since COVID became part of our lives. So glad our experience was pleasant, looking forward to more.
Cheryl C. - The play Our Town was wonderful. The cast was very talented and professional. Everyone was very friendly and courteous about making sure we had handicapped seating and headphones for me. It was our first time at enter stage everyone! ✅ and was a wonderful night and experience. A big thank you to everone!
Lorraine D. - We really enjoy all the plays we've been to Thank you so much

Michelle H. - EVERY cast member was amazing!! AND the director? Wow!!! I’m still in shock she never saw the movie before and it was her first time directing! Again....AMAZING!!! I saw the show 3 times and should have seen it more!! What an awesome little gem we have in downtown Port Huron!
Can’t wait to see more shows!!!!
Lisa J. - Cast, acting, and the setting in Truvy's beauty shop made you feel like the real deal. We were beyond happy and loved it. We laughed, cried, and laughed again. Bravo!
Steven - Great performance. Perfect location. Local theater production that provides enthusiastic actors. Everyone there is very accommodating. 5 Stars!!!
Scott D. - This is a great theater and I look forward to many more shows there. A great vibe from the minute you walk in the door!
Susan W. - I took my mom, it is one of her favorite movies, I surprised her and she loved it!! So did I! Awesome job!
THE HOBBIT
Barb R. - The Hobbit was such a fun play. This was my first play here. The actors were wonderful. The set was so creative and I loved the size of the facility - not a bad seat in the house. I will definitely be back for more!!
Steve D. - The production was great! The performers were all very capable and well rehearsed! The sets were very creative and served the story well! I loved the dragon! The “Black Box” theater was creatively employed by the production company, and served well! I was very impressed overall, and will return for other shows!
Barbara V. - Wow what a wonderful performance 😊 Actors were well rehearsed and it showed! My husband and I have been to multiple plays and have never been disappointed! Have a great night out and give them a try👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Martha R. - Awesome play. Nice venue. Small enough to bring you into the action. Will go again for sure!
Michael Morris - I never knew this stage was here until "The Hobbit". You see, I own a hobbit village in Yale ((on FaceBook, look up 'Michaels Hobbit Hole')), and you were referred to me by a friend on my page. We had a wonderful evening... Thank you so much for your passion, dedication, and love for what you do!!!
Sally M. - I wasn’t able to go due to flu! I’m sure it was amazing like the others I’ve been too. Highly recommend any of their shows! Great actors and personal because it’s so close.
Julie M. - Great show and I plan to return to see more!
William G. - It was an excellent show. Some of the performers talked a little to fast, it was hard to understand them.
Peter F. - I went to see the show not because it was must see but because my friend was in it and another runs the palace. I try to be supportive. I was not overly enthused about seeing it though. Afterward I thoroughly enjoyed it. I knew the story but it was the acting I was most impressed with. It was very well done. Thank you ESR for a fun night.
emily w. - Great show!! Well done.
Jennifer R. - This was our first time visiting the Citadel stage. We loved the intimate setting and comfortable seats. The set was amazing and the acting was great! We loved being close to the action for the defeat of Smaug! Gandalf was cast brilliantly and Gollum was outstanding. Concessions were very reasonably priced and intermission was perfect timing. I brought my husband and our 2 daughters (age 8 & 10). It was perfect for them as well. We look forward to coming again!
Leann S. - The actors and the scenery were amazing. I'm astounded how much could be fit unto the small stage. I was truly transformed to a different place and time.
Shannon R. - Honestly one of the most exciting live performances I have ever seen. Fantastic costumes and the puppeteers were phenomenal. The dragon was my favorite part. The crew was tremendous and the theater is a local treasure. I hope this production returns and I will be making sure to frequent more shows here. This play was long enough to provide great detail, but short enough (plus intermission) that my kindergardtener stayed engaged throughout. None of us had seen the Hobbit movies or read the book, but this production was easy to understand and follow. Wish I could give it more than 5 stars.
Karin K. - I loved the theater and the play. The size of the stage and where I sat (2nd row on right) I felt like I was in the play. The dragon was really cool. Everyone was friendly. The price was great too. Thank you.
Sarah M. - The theater set up is nice and intimate, with the stage and actors right up close. The cast performed well. Bilbo and Gollum were standouts. The set was clever considering the limited floor space and ability to change props. I knocked two stars off because of the story adaptation. Tolkien's book The Hobbit was well condensed by the Rankin Bass cartoon adaptation. As a fan of the novel, I was disappointed with Jackson's over inflated movie trilogy. I guess I expected a play leaning more toward the cartoon in terms of content. The first part of the play was a whirlwind through plot points. Just when you become accustomed to the pace, it comes to a screeching halt for the scene with Bilbo and Gollum. The difference was enough to pull me out of the play and feel boring, despite the excellent acting. Afterward, the pace picked up so fast that major plot points, like Laketown and the humans, were completely skipped. To make up for this, and the loss of Bard, the archer who is meant to kill Smaug, the story is disrupted and becomes confusing for those familiar with it. The Battle of the Five Armies really only had three representatives, dwarves, elves, and goblins. I believe the voice over was meant to explain what was happening but, it was difficult to hear. Lastly, one small thing just irked me. Women played the roles of some of the male dwarves, and they did a wonderful job. If it was acceptable for women to play male roles, and do it well, why then was the decision made to replace the king of the forest elves with a fake Galadriel stand in? tl;dr The theater was nice, the actors were enthusiastic and preformed well. The adaption of the story was frustrating. I would see other plays at this theater but, would not recommend this one to others.
Tina E. - Fantastic job by all involved. Truly an enjoyable evening.
A CHRISTMAS CAROL
Denise K - What a WONDERFUL cast! Their rendition of Ebenezer Scrooge was funny and heart warming. A feeling of being "right there" was easily achieved! Sound effects, lighting, costumes were true to the era as well as the English. LOVED A Christmas Carol : A Ghost Story of Christmas!

Melodie B - Another fantastic performance! Great venue, awesome performances by all. Looking forward to seeing another show. Love the creativity and always impressed.

Cathy H. - This was our first time and was enthralled with the whole production! We have purchased tickets to the next 2 shows. Very delighted. Well done
Matt - This was a terrific show, well acted, great crew work. It was my first time at this theater, and I was impressed by the quality and hospitality of the whole team.
Mr. J - The show was great! The spartan stage really made the focus on the acting in a great way and the acting lived up to what was required as a result. The main Hyde was absolutely fabulous as was the Dr. All the actors / actresses did wonderfully though in an up close and personal performance with not a bad seat in the house for sure. A Great Job by all involved! Looking forward to seeing more performances or getting season tix. Bravo! Bravo!
Marlo K. - Absolutely amazing! A must see.
Mark M. - A great rendition of a classic... the actors have obviously worked very hard to deliver an outstanding performance. Enter Stage Right is an intimate venue that makes you feel a part of the play. An experience you must take advantage of.
Michael W. - Excellent show and actors. We had a good time and are looking forward to attending in the future.
Kimberly S. - My first thought is how fantastic the character of Hyde was, he was spot on. I believed it was really him. I loved the sadness of this story, I felt for Mr. Hyde. The show was great, we really enjoyed it. The acting is always excellent. I love your theater and the people are kind and courteous.
John N. - Great show! The one on the wheel chair looked like he died for real! And Hyde was a great twitch character. Good show
Laura S - We thoroughly enjoyed this production. The venue is great and we look forward to seeing more performances. Dr. Jekyll was amazing.
Melissa N. - It was a great show! We thoroughly enjoyed it!!
Bob F. - The performance was well executed. Both the performers and the staging was very creative. This retelling of the story made the revisiting of a classic tale very entertaining.
SHE KILLS MONSTERS
Encore Michigan Review: https://www.encoremichigan.com/2019/09/esrs-she-kills-monsters-surprises-with-wit-and-humor/
Tristen F. - Not only does this theater have an amazing atmosphere with such positive and fun energy this has probably been easily one of my top three favorite plays done at this theater. The cast always does a wonderful job and they definitely show the good of such an amazing town. If you are wanting to see a play done at this theater I highly recommend it!
Harry K. - This was our first time to a local act....it was much better than we thought it would. We will be going to more shows in the future...FYI...it's a BYOB production 😊....I recommend that you go to the next show.

A MIDSOMMER NIGHT'S DREAME
Encore Michigan Review: https://www.encoremichigan.com/2019/08/esrs-a-midsommer-nights-dreame/
Haley G - Today's show was my first ever at ESR. It was beyond amazing! 😍
Lizzy S - I got to see this amazing performance last Sunday and I absolutely loved it! Midsommer is one of my very favorite plays, I’ve seen it several times performed by various companies, and this was such a fresh take, you all gave it new breath. The acting was compelling, the costuming, magical, and OMG the sets and lighting! I’m in love with A Midsommer Nights Dreame all over again! ❤️
I HATE HAMLET
Phetsamone P. - Great show. Funny and well done.
D. Roberts - We came to see the show with another couple who had never been to The Citadel Stage. They loved it! The acting was excellent & we laughed constantly for two hours. How great that we such a convenient and professional theatre right in downtown Port Huron!
SHERWOOD: THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD
Encore Michigan Review: https://www.encoremichigan.com/2019/05/sherwood/
Toni G. - Our first time at this venue. We were pleasantly surprised. The performance of Robin Hood was outstanding and it was very cool to be so close to the action. We will return.
Brandon L - Just went with a family of 4 to see Sherwood. The tech and effects were so on point, and the players all delivered the action, and their characters with a passion and excitement that when all layered together, immersed you right into their world. It's the kind of experience that makes the Citadel such a special place to forget about reality for a while. Disney World eat your heart out! Michigan has the Citadel Stage.
Donna P. - When I ushered Saturday, the minute I entered the building a rush of energy nearly knocked me over. Serious serious energy. I got a little dizzy, seriously, and it was electric. It was, not to be cliché, THRILLING.
Michael Radford - I saw the play 3 times and each time it was better. And the last weekend (Sunday) there was a tornado warning. And the producer and directors handled the organization of the cast and audience in seeking shelter in a very professional and calm and orderly fashion. The cast in a 3 shows were AWESOME. They did a very great performance. I highly recommend everyone to go and see an ESR performance.
Mike H. - The production was way funnier than I thought it would be. Friar Tuck was awesome! Overall great job by everyone. The story moved along well. Definitely worth seeing again!
Dawn M - Absolutely loved the small theatre setting. The play was awesome and everyone was so professional. I have no complaints but parking but even that was not a big deal.
Kathleen C. - I’ve not been to Enter Stage Right previous to this play and found it to be a very worthy venue to go see a local play. The cast was terrific and I am looking forward to seeing another play there in the near future!
Peter F. - It was a fun night. Friar Tuck, Marian and Robin carried the show and did a very good job. The Citadel continues to put on entertaining shows and I will continue to support them with my attendance.
THE FOURSOME
Michael M. - It was wonderful.
Jeff S. - Very enjoyable afternoon @ The Citadel! The Foursome play & cast was very entertaining.
Jackie S. - Cute, well done. Only one small problem, my ears are 80 years old and sometimes a cast member would speak quickly and quietly causing me to miss funny lines. Well done. I give you all 10 out of 10! 😃
DANCING AT LUGHNASA
Ted F. - I've seen the play before on a big stage in Chicago. Was it better? Not quite. Did it exceed my expectations and absolutely compel me to want to come back and see more performances at Enter Stage Right? 100% YES!!!!!! Thank you so much for doing a great job and bringing this kind of entertainment to our community. All the best! I'll be back for more!!!!
Michael M. - Excellent cast. Great set. Very enjoyable.
Deborah B. - I really enjoy the atmosphere… But this last performance I really struggle to understand the main character… I don’t know if it was him for the Soundsystem:(

YES VIRGINIA, THERE IS A SANTA CLAUS
Kelly G. - My husband, myself, my son and my son’s girlfriend all attended. We loved the entire experience! The venue is a perfect setting. The ticket price is a bargain which allowed us to buy snacks (also a bargain!) and give extra at the end of the play. Not to mention the exceptional acting. We will definitely be back!
David B. - Great production and awesome performance by the cast. Exceeded my expectations. Nice quaint theater really made you feel like you were part of the action. Will definitely be back. This theater is a real asset to the community.
Cheryl V. - Awesome!

Jenny K - We had a wonderful time and will be back! Thank you!!!
Debbie R. - Was very nice. Actors and actresses did a nice job. I just really feel they should try to get a wine / beer license it will bring more people in sad to say. People don’t like to get drunk.... just have a social glass of wine me included.
DRACULA
Angela S - Just got home from seeing Dracula... Amazing performance!!! Not too scary but definitely enough to keep you engaged in the performance!!! Absolutely brilliant!!!

Jarrod S. - The wife and I went to the Citadel Stage for date night (drove an hour from Grand Blanc) to see Dracula Oct 13th, 2018. The play was outstanding, cast and crew were great, the staff at Citadel Stage were extremely friendly and helpful, the building/stage is quaint and small...just how we like it. The building has lots of history. Great place to see theater. Highly recommended and we will certainly visit again soon.

Kimerie G. - Really enjoyed the performance and the cozy atmosphere.

THE TAMING OF THE SHREW
Jessica Williams - I had never been to the Citadel Stage prior to yesterday. I loved it! The atmosphere is very intimate and personal. The seats are really comfy. The actors/actresses were amazing. You can tell they put their heart and soul into the production. The workers were really friendly. The guy working refreshments is awesome!! The production itself is well worth the cost of the tickets. Highly recommend!! I’ll be back for your November/December shows! I might even come and watch your current one again lol.

ALL IN THE TIMING
Mark M. - Never knew it existed. Can't wait to go again and see all the new upcoming stars.
A DOLL'S HOUSE
Tami F. - The ambiance was perfect and the play was intriguing. The cast was talented and it was an overall great experience. It was a distraction and and annoyance for me personally that although the play was no comedy, several audience members continued to laugh throughout the play. Otherwise well done.
REVERIES OF OZ
Darci C - They do an awsome job, makes you feel involved and welcome and the play and actors were great!!! Saw Oz twice and enjoyed both shows!

quite good. Fun!

Wendy T. - What a great addition to down town Port Huron! Cannot wait to come back!
DEATHTRAP
Debra W. - Small enough that every seat is a good seat. You can see and hear the actors. Friendly staff and you can talk to the actors after the play. But dress warm, it was chilly. I'm planning on seeing more plays at the Citadel in Port Huron.
Kevin F. - Caught Death Trap on Thursday night...awesome production and cool venue.
ONE CAT AWAY FROM 61
David S. - Caught opening night of "One Cat Away from 61." An intimate setting for an intimate show. Really liked the 'in the round' experience, which suits this show well. Well-acted, and well-written. Great venue in downtown Port Huron.
WORKSHOPS & CLASSES
Marilyn M. - Mr. Parkhurst was very thorough. He listened. There were many excellent ideas interjected into the monolog that I presented which enhanced ny interpretation of that piece of work greatly. Thank you for the opportunity to work with him. I will call on him in the future for more sessions.

PHANTOM OF THE OPERA
Larry J. - Being a fan of POTO, I was impressed by the non musical, a few songs were sung, performance of this play. The actors were excellent, the stage and props were very good and the direction was superb. The theater house itself, acoustics and lighting were very good. First time to this location but won't be my last.
Karla S. - An excellent performance. The cast was wonderful and it was a truly enjoyable experience.
JOSEPH K. - Another good performance. Enjoyed it so much.
Michelle F. - The actors did a great job on the Phantom of the Opera play. The theater was quaint and personal. I almost felt like I was part of the play. I highly recommend this for a fun evening out. Thank you for great experience.
David R. - We had a great time.The production was great.
Bev H. - We had another fabulous time at the citadel....BRAVO! The music the makeup the lighting and of course the acting we're phenomenal
OUR TOWN
Michael M. - The play was well cast with great technical skill and impeccable timing. Bravo.
Jeff S. - Very enjoyable afternoon! Another great performance by everyone. I love the small, intimate venue. Great value.
Joyce G. - Staff was very accommodating for elderly wheelchair and walker attendees. They both benefited from the hearing assistance devices you provided them. I saw the show 3 times and enjoyed it more each time. The actors were spot on each time and the sound effects were impressively precise. Thank you to each of you that shared your talents to make such a successful production. Will be back!
michelle D. - Wonderful performances! We had a great time!
Steve A. - I enjoyed the play and the message to appreciate our lives today. The production was well done, entertaining and professional. I did have trouble hearing and understanding some of the dialogue, especially the younger female actors. It was especially difficult when the actors were facing away from me. I look forward to the next production. Thanks!
John Considine - This was a wonderful production of an old classic, Our Town. While it seems that everyone I know has seen the show, I'd never seen it so I was totally surprised at the startling twist and turn that brought home the theme and message the playwright clearly wanted to portray. I love community theater and have acted in numerous shows in other parts of the country. This was my first experience with Stage Left and I found the acting truly excellent. I'm sure you have at least two or three actors who could easily turn professional. I'll be back.
Craig M. - Loved it. Haven’t visited Grover’s Corner in 50 years. One of the best productions I’ve seen in a very long time. I appreciated the safety precautions taken to assure cast and audience safety. First play I’ve been to since COVID became part of our lives. So glad our experience was pleasant, looking forward to more.
Cheryl C. - The play Our Town was wonderful. The cast was very talented and professional. Everyone was very friendly and courteous about making sure we had handicapped seating and headphones for me. It was our first time at enter stage everyone! ✅ and was a wonderful night and experience. A big thank you to everone!
Lorraine D. - We really enjoy all the plays we've been to Thank you so much

Can’t wait to see more shows!!!!
Lisa J. - Cast, acting, and the setting in Truvy's beauty shop made you feel like the real deal. We were beyond happy and loved it. We laughed, cried, and laughed again. Bravo!

Scott D. - This is a great theater and I look forward to many more shows there. A great vibe from the minute you walk in the door!
Susan W. - I took my mom, it is one of her favorite movies, I surprised her and she loved it!! So did I! Awesome job!
THE HOBBIT
Barb R. - The Hobbit was such a fun play. This was my first play here. The actors were wonderful. The set was so creative and I loved the size of the facility - not a bad seat in the house. I will definitely be back for more!!
Steve D. - The production was great! The performers were all very capable and well rehearsed! The sets were very creative and served the story well! I loved the dragon! The “Black Box” theater was creatively employed by the production company, and served well! I was very impressed overall, and will return for other shows!
Barbara V. - Wow what a wonderful performance 😊 Actors were well rehearsed and it showed! My husband and I have been to multiple plays and have never been disappointed! Have a great night out and give them a try👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Martha R. - Awesome play. Nice venue. Small enough to bring you into the action. Will go again for sure!
Michael Morris - I never knew this stage was here until "The Hobbit". You see, I own a hobbit village in Yale ((on FaceBook, look up 'Michaels Hobbit Hole')), and you were referred to me by a friend on my page. We had a wonderful evening... Thank you so much for your passion, dedication, and love for what you do!!!
Sally M. - I wasn’t able to go due to flu! I’m sure it was amazing like the others I’ve been too. Highly recommend any of their shows! Great actors and personal because it’s so close.
Julie M. - Great show and I plan to return to see more!
William G. - It was an excellent show. Some of the performers talked a little to fast, it was hard to understand them.
Peter F. - I went to see the show not because it was must see but because my friend was in it and another runs the palace. I try to be supportive. I was not overly enthused about seeing it though. Afterward I thoroughly enjoyed it. I knew the story but it was the acting I was most impressed with. It was very well done. Thank you ESR for a fun night.
emily w. - Great show!! Well done.
Jennifer R. - This was our first time visiting the Citadel stage. We loved the intimate setting and comfortable seats. The set was amazing and the acting was great! We loved being close to the action for the defeat of Smaug! Gandalf was cast brilliantly and Gollum was outstanding. Concessions were very reasonably priced and intermission was perfect timing. I brought my husband and our 2 daughters (age 8 & 10). It was perfect for them as well. We look forward to coming again!
Leann S. - The actors and the scenery were amazing. I'm astounded how much could be fit unto the small stage. I was truly transformed to a different place and time.
Shannon R. - Honestly one of the most exciting live performances I have ever seen. Fantastic costumes and the puppeteers were phenomenal. The dragon was my favorite part. The crew was tremendous and the theater is a local treasure. I hope this production returns and I will be making sure to frequent more shows here. This play was long enough to provide great detail, but short enough (plus intermission) that my kindergardtener stayed engaged throughout. None of us had seen the Hobbit movies or read the book, but this production was easy to understand and follow. Wish I could give it more than 5 stars.
Karin K. - I loved the theater and the play. The size of the stage and where I sat (2nd row on right) I felt like I was in the play. The dragon was really cool. Everyone was friendly. The price was great too. Thank you.
Sarah M. - The theater set up is nice and intimate, with the stage and actors right up close. The cast performed well. Bilbo and Gollum were standouts. The set was clever considering the limited floor space and ability to change props. I knocked two stars off because of the story adaptation. Tolkien's book The Hobbit was well condensed by the Rankin Bass cartoon adaptation. As a fan of the novel, I was disappointed with Jackson's over inflated movie trilogy. I guess I expected a play leaning more toward the cartoon in terms of content. The first part of the play was a whirlwind through plot points. Just when you become accustomed to the pace, it comes to a screeching halt for the scene with Bilbo and Gollum. The difference was enough to pull me out of the play and feel boring, despite the excellent acting. Afterward, the pace picked up so fast that major plot points, like Laketown and the humans, were completely skipped. To make up for this, and the loss of Bard, the archer who is meant to kill Smaug, the story is disrupted and becomes confusing for those familiar with it. The Battle of the Five Armies really only had three representatives, dwarves, elves, and goblins. I believe the voice over was meant to explain what was happening but, it was difficult to hear. Lastly, one small thing just irked me. Women played the roles of some of the male dwarves, and they did a wonderful job. If it was acceptable for women to play male roles, and do it well, why then was the decision made to replace the king of the forest elves with a fake Galadriel stand in? tl;dr The theater was nice, the actors were enthusiastic and preformed well. The adaption of the story was frustrating. I would see other plays at this theater but, would not recommend this one to others.
Tina E. - Fantastic job by all involved. Truly an enjoyable evening.
A CHRISTMAS CAROL
Denise K - What a WONDERFUL cast! Their rendition of Ebenezer Scrooge was funny and heart warming. A feeling of being "right there" was easily achieved! Sound effects, lighting, costumes were true to the era as well as the English. LOVED A Christmas Carol : A Ghost Story of Christmas!

Cathy H. - This was our first time and was enthralled with the whole production! We have purchased tickets to the next 2 shows. Very delighted. Well done
Matt - This was a terrific show, well acted, great crew work. It was my first time at this theater, and I was impressed by the quality and hospitality of the whole team.
Mr. J - The show was great! The spartan stage really made the focus on the acting in a great way and the acting lived up to what was required as a result. The main Hyde was absolutely fabulous as was the Dr. All the actors / actresses did wonderfully though in an up close and personal performance with not a bad seat in the house for sure. A Great Job by all involved! Looking forward to seeing more performances or getting season tix. Bravo! Bravo!
Marlo K. - Absolutely amazing! A must see.
Mark M. - A great rendition of a classic... the actors have obviously worked very hard to deliver an outstanding performance. Enter Stage Right is an intimate venue that makes you feel a part of the play. An experience you must take advantage of.
Michael W. - Excellent show and actors. We had a good time and are looking forward to attending in the future.
Kimberly S. - My first thought is how fantastic the character of Hyde was, he was spot on. I believed it was really him. I loved the sadness of this story, I felt for Mr. Hyde. The show was great, we really enjoyed it. The acting is always excellent. I love your theater and the people are kind and courteous.
John N. - Great show! The one on the wheel chair looked like he died for real! And Hyde was a great twitch character. Good show
Laura S - We thoroughly enjoyed this production. The venue is great and we look forward to seeing more performances. Dr. Jekyll was amazing.
Melissa N. - It was a great show! We thoroughly enjoyed it!!
Bob F. - The performance was well executed. Both the performers and the staging was very creative. This retelling of the story made the revisiting of a classic tale very entertaining.
SHE KILLS MONSTERS
Encore Michigan Review: https://www.encoremichigan.com/2019/09/esrs-she-kills-monsters-surprises-with-wit-and-humor/
Tristen F. - Not only does this theater have an amazing atmosphere with such positive and fun energy this has probably been easily one of my top three favorite plays done at this theater. The cast always does a wonderful job and they definitely show the good of such an amazing town. If you are wanting to see a play done at this theater I highly recommend it!

A MIDSOMMER NIGHT'S DREAME
Encore Michigan Review: https://www.encoremichigan.com/2019/08/esrs-a-midsommer-nights-dreame/
Haley G - Today's show was my first ever at ESR. It was beyond amazing! 😍
Lizzy S - I got to see this amazing performance last Sunday and I absolutely loved it! Midsommer is one of my very favorite plays, I’ve seen it several times performed by various companies, and this was such a fresh take, you all gave it new breath. The acting was compelling, the costuming, magical, and OMG the sets and lighting! I’m in love with A Midsommer Nights Dreame all over again! ❤️
I HATE HAMLET
Phetsamone P. - Great show. Funny and well done.
D. Roberts - We came to see the show with another couple who had never been to The Citadel Stage. They loved it! The acting was excellent & we laughed constantly for two hours. How great that we such a convenient and professional theatre right in downtown Port Huron!
SHERWOOD: THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD
Encore Michigan Review: https://www.encoremichigan.com/2019/05/sherwood/
Toni G. - Our first time at this venue. We were pleasantly surprised. The performance of Robin Hood was outstanding and it was very cool to be so close to the action. We will return.
Brandon L - Just went with a family of 4 to see Sherwood. The tech and effects were so on point, and the players all delivered the action, and their characters with a passion and excitement that when all layered together, immersed you right into their world. It's the kind of experience that makes the Citadel such a special place to forget about reality for a while. Disney World eat your heart out! Michigan has the Citadel Stage.
Donna P. - When I ushered Saturday, the minute I entered the building a rush of energy nearly knocked me over. Serious serious energy. I got a little dizzy, seriously, and it was electric. It was, not to be cliché, THRILLING.
Michael Radford - I saw the play 3 times and each time it was better. And the last weekend (Sunday) there was a tornado warning. And the producer and directors handled the organization of the cast and audience in seeking shelter in a very professional and calm and orderly fashion. The cast in a 3 shows were AWESOME. They did a very great performance. I highly recommend everyone to go and see an ESR performance.
Mike H. - The production was way funnier than I thought it would be. Friar Tuck was awesome! Overall great job by everyone. The story moved along well. Definitely worth seeing again!
Dawn M - Absolutely loved the small theatre setting. The play was awesome and everyone was so professional. I have no complaints but parking but even that was not a big deal.
Kathleen C. - I’ve not been to Enter Stage Right previous to this play and found it to be a very worthy venue to go see a local play. The cast was terrific and I am looking forward to seeing another play there in the near future!
Peter F. - It was a fun night. Friar Tuck, Marian and Robin carried the show and did a very good job. The Citadel continues to put on entertaining shows and I will continue to support them with my attendance.
THE FOURSOME
Michael M. - It was wonderful.
Jeff S. - Very enjoyable afternoon @ The Citadel! The Foursome play & cast was very entertaining.
Jackie S. - Cute, well done. Only one small problem, my ears are 80 years old and sometimes a cast member would speak quickly and quietly causing me to miss funny lines. Well done. I give you all 10 out of 10! 😃
DANCING AT LUGHNASA
Ted F. - I've seen the play before on a big stage in Chicago. Was it better? Not quite.

Thank you so much for doing a great job and bringing this kind of entertainment to our community. All the best! I'll be back for more!!!!

The set crew was spot on with the many changes that happened throughout the experience. This is what theater is all about!
YES VIRGINIA, THERE IS A SANTA CLAUS
Kelly G. - My husband, myself, my son and my son’s girlfriend all attended. We loved the entire experience! The venue is a perfect setting. The ticket price is a bargain which allowed us to buy snacks (also a bargain!) and give extra at the end of the play. Not to mention the exceptional acting. We will definitely be back!

DRACULA
Angela S - Just got home from seeing Dracula... Amazing performance!!! Not too scary but definitely enough to keep you engaged in the performance!!! Absolutely brilliant!!!

Jarrod S. - The wife and I went to the Citadel Stage for date night (drove an hour from Grand Blanc) to see Dracula Oct 13th, 2018. The play was outstanding, cast and crew were great, the staff at Citadel Stage were extremely friendly and helpful, the building/stage is quaint and small...just how we like it.

Kimerie G. - Really enjoyed the performance and the cozy atmosphere.

THE TAMING OF THE SHREW
Jessica Williams - I had never been to the Citadel Stage prior to yesterday. I loved it! The atmosphere is very intimate and personal. The seats are really comfy. The actors/actresses were amazing. You can tell they put their heart and soul into the production. The workers were really friendly. The guy working refreshments is awesome!! The production itself is well worth the cost of the tickets. Highly recommend!! I’ll be back for your November/December shows! I might even come and watch your current one again lol.

A DOLL'S HOUSE
Tami F. - The ambiance was perfect and the play was intriguing. The cast was talented and it was an overall great experience. It was a distraction and and annoyance for me personally that although the play was no comedy, several audience members continued to laugh throughout the play. Otherwise well done.
REVERIES OF OZ
Darci C - They do an awsome job, makes you feel involved and welcome and the play and actors were great!!! Saw Oz twice and enjoyed both shows!
Jay K - We enjoyed the afternoon show today. Overall, very well done! Young lady playing Dorothy is fabulous, as is the leading lady; the entire supporting cast is
quite good. Fun!
Alexanderia J. - My cousin Billy was in a play there. I love it because I could see everything up close and personal. Everyone was nice. I will come back again.
Wendy T. - What a great addition to down town Port Huron! Cannot wait to come back!
DEATHTRAP
Debra W. - Small enough that every seat is a good seat. You can see and hear the actors. Friendly staff and you can talk to the actors after the play. But dress warm, it was chilly. I'm planning on seeing more plays at the Citadel in Port Huron.
Kevin F. - Caught Death Trap on Thursday night...awesome production and cool venue.
ONE CAT AWAY FROM 61
David S. - Caught opening night of "One Cat Away from 61." An intimate setting for an intimate show. Really liked the 'in the round' experience, which suits this show well. Well-acted, and well-written. Great venue in downtown Port Huron.
WORKSHOPS & CLASSES
Marilyn M. - Mr. Parkhurst was very thorough. He listened. There were many excellent ideas interjected into the monolog that I presented which enhanced ny interpretation of that piece of work greatly. Thank you for the opportunity to work with him. I will call on him in the future for more sessions.
Jim L. - Loving it. Very interesting, makes me look at Shakesphere in a whole new light.
DONATIONS!
