Review: 'Gypsy' by Two Planks Theatre Company

This company had to bring a lot more than two planks to Wolfe Park in Monroe in order to pull off these performances of 'Gypsy.'

Producer Brooke Burling acknowledged the joys of outdoor theater but pointed out the beauty of Wolfe Park where the summer performances are held. Two Planks has to bring in everything to pull them off, from the stage to the lights and the trussing to the tents that protect the dressing area and the light board operator. The beautiful surroundings are provided by the town of Monroe.

Judy Abbatiello served as choreographer and I always enjoy watching Mr. Stango have to dance. The band under the direction of Ms. Koch's husband Dan, played the classic score with flourish and included Leo Lavallee and Tom Storace on trumpet and trombone master Charley Marenghi.
