 everybody was friendly and helpful yes but took a while to figure out where to get will call as noboy manned the desk

 LOVE IT !!!!!!

 Performed professionally and with respect for the topic!

 What a marvelous performance. The crew and cast did an exceptional job on this production. Broadway level plays done locally. Bravo. Bravo.

 Purchasing tickets online was a breeze. Arrived at venue and the staff was courteous and informative.

 I always look forward to attending Stagecrafters Productions. They are always professional and well done. I especially love the musicals!

 Outstanding Performance

 Stage Crafters put on an excellent performance. Staff was freindly and professional.

 Stage Crafters provides top rate entertainment to our community. Thank you!

 The show was very moving

 Anne Frank’s dad was just amazing. I loved the show but I have to say that his acting was above the rest

 Wonderful theatre experience again 😊

 Well done. I taught the play to 8th graders for 30 years but have never seen it staged. It brought tears to my eyes.

 Great show! Excellent cast and set. The restrooms need upgrading!

 Very well done. My husband and I were both tearful at the end. The audience was spell bound and hardly knew if they were supposed to applaud, it was very moving.

 SUCH an emotional experience. Every actor played their respective parts to perfection. Not a dry eye in the theatre.

 Perfect. Cried at the end.

 The play was exquisitely performed!!! The performers could be on Broadway!

 Very fun to watch! They did an excellent job telling Anne’s story!

 What a marvelous performance. The crew and cast did an exceptional job on this production. Broadway level plays done locally. Bravo. Bravo.

 Excellent acting

 I loved it. It was much better than Cats. I am going to see it again and again.

 Performance was so well done while still being respectful of such a difficult topic

 The best dramatic play I've ever seen performed at Stage Crafters. The director did a phenomenal job of putting together a very talented cast that transported us all into that attic to experience what those people went through just trying to survive.

 The cast and crew were wonderful! They really brought the story to life for me. I could feel the pain and frustration of the Frank family and their companions.

 Well acted. Thoughtfully done.

 Made me cry. Loved it. Best one yet

 A very well done performance.

 It was a very moving story. Emotions were raw and they were very believable to the situation they were in. Very good acting.

 Fantastic event!

 Very well done. Congratulations Doug!

 It was great and the lead character was fantastic. Also the actor that changed characters multiple times was unbelievable - well believable character but wow - that many character changes

 The women’s costumes were fantastic! Great job, well done!

 Very impressed. So much talent. Enjoyed this production tremendously.

 I thoroughly enjoyed the show.

 Performance and singing by actors was fantastic. Only thing I did not care for was there to be to many breaks between active scenes.

 Very enjoyable! The cast is very talented and their love of performing obvious.

 The cast was awesome. They were wonderful singers and great actors. The only problem was that I couldn’t understand a lot of what they were saying or singing.

 Absolutely amazing! Great job to the cast and crew!

 HIlarious!

 Phenomenal show! One of the best musical productions Stagecrafters has put on. The acting and singing were top notch and the show was hilarious.

 Fantastic play! Every single person involved in this did an amazing job! We thoroughly enjoyed the play! Thank you!!

 Wonderful performances!

 As always outstanding. Very impressed the the singing, great voices.

 I really enjoyed the play, The cast was terrific. Although I couldn't understand a great portion of the language the singing and dancing were wonderful. The lead character was truly amazing able to sing so much of the show.

 I loved it. It was much better than Cats. I am going to see it again and again.

 SO FUNNY !!!!

 Next season I will review the contents of each and every show. I was very disappointed in this production. Not sure if I will purchase season tickets next time. The people who pick the shows need to reconsider some of their choices. I didn't stay past intermission. I loved most of the other shows. Catch 22 was a disappointment - more like a high school play.

 Great play and superb delivery. Everyone laughed a lot.

 My friends and I loved it, so funny! Great staging and the actors were terrific. Wonderful directing too.

 The actors were phenomenal. I was so impressed with the entire show. I wish I had seen it sooner and that I could have invited everyone I know to see it! Such a good message and the world needs to see this. Highly impressed!

 It was very funny and good acting.

 Hilarious! Great performances!

 Great show and actors! This is a wonderful gem of a venue!

 It was a huge disappointment. The disclaimer was eyewash. The play was offensive on so many levels, most of which was the attitude of "my way is the only way or you're a prig". there was absolutely no attempt to present a balanced interpretation of the gay/trans lifestyle. We were embarrassed as we had told our friend how much we've enjoyed previous plays that she joined us. We all left at the intermission

 Good performance.

 We enjoyed the play. The cast was excellent. The story was a depiction of Key West from one perspective. The underlying tone was political. The theater could use a good cleaning and maybe offer some drinks. Good job for a small community theater.

 Disappointment - play description should have stated it had an LGBTQ theme, instead of us reading a small sign when we checked in saying “sexual innuendos, alternative lifestyle, language”. Constant gay innuendo punch lines got old after the first 15 min, along with demeaning heterosexuality. Left at intermission, wasn’t funny, offensive to all. Not sure I’ll buy future Stagecrafter tickets, especially without researching playwright first!

 Great show, nice fir big laughs

 Delightful romp through social mores and sexuality, set in a clothing optional Key West resort! The cast of just 5 did a wonderful job inhabiting the personalities of their characters and demonstrating excellent comedic timing. The exploration of the way marriages can lead us to suppress our true selves could have leant a heavier tone, but did not due to the open communication between husband and wife in the script. A very enjoyable evening, please go see it!

 So thankful we have a place like this and thankful that it is loved enough for people to volunteer.

 Very well done.

 I was very pleased with this event, the cast made the mystery enjoyable and grabbed my attention the entire time through. Especially Christopher Wren, the actor brought plenty of levity and mirth to the role and play as a whole that kept the murder mystery aspects from dragging.

 My daughter was very pleased with our performance and being able to see me on stage. Christopher Wren was her favorite!

 What a great production! It is hard to believe that this is a volunteer group with new talent being constantly developed. So impressive! Andrew Yoder is a rare find…Christopher Wren was my favorite!

 Another excellent production,

 Good performance!, the acting was as usual excellent and stage setting very good.

 I loved it. It was much better than cats. I am going to see it again and again.

 Great actors, stage, lighting and sound. Who-done-it story was entertaining and had me guessing until the end.

 Missed having information on the Acts in the program. Set was top-notch and lighting and sound were great. Acting was good, but I often could not understand the words. It was not a problem of sound; just of understanding what I was hearing. Possibly more a hearing problem for me than a diction problem with the actors. However, others said they had that problem, too.

 The quality of the shows I've seen at Stage Crafters is so much better than what I saw in this show. The set was nice. There were a couple of standout performances. But quite honestly, you couldn't understand what most of the actors were saying, particularly the time-traveling police officer (his costume looked more like 1980's Eddie Bauer catalog than the actual time frame of the show) who felt the need to YELL EVERYTHING HE SAID or have his back to the audience.

 Absolutely

 Eventful

 Molly's constantly forceful way of speaking very irritating as was actor pretending to be the cop with always yelling and shouting even when asking normal questions. Have seen Mousetrap elsewhere and everyone spoke in a normal fashion.

 This was the first time I have seen a Stage Crafters performance, and I was extremely impressed with the entire experience of watching “The Mousetrap.” The actors were all dynamic in their roles and extremely entertaining to watch. I was blown away by the complexity of the set and creativity with which it was built. I look forward to my next show!

 I loved it. It was much better than cats. I am going to see it again and again.

 Why is this not accepting my note, I'm from NY saw it on Broadway and this was very close to that!

 Performance was well enjoyed

 Excellent show with passionate actors. Well done! Very enjoyable!

 EXCELLENT CAST!!!

 I was pleasantly surprised what a professional, high quality production this was. The play was long but I never once lost interest. In fact I wanted the story to keep going. I saw this play in NYC in the early 70's and was too young to appreciate theatre or this play. But I know this production was much better in a small local theatre from all aspects. I can't wait to come back and see other plays at this venue. Thank you for a PHENOMENAL show!!

 Actors were very good. Play just wasn’t to my taste. I prefer musical or mystery. Once again the temperature was too cold.

 The characters did a fabulous job ,especially the young man who played Eugene. Lots of laughs. Thanks for a super evening.

 Well done -- guy who played Eugene was great.

 The stage set was amazing and the transitions were slick!

 Every character cast was perfect for the role. I was spellbiund over the talent of every person in the cast. I cannot rave about it enough.

 OMG. That show is so funny. I loved Eugene. I don't know how he managed to have the perfect teenage voice. Kate was also fantastic. She really got into her role. Her arguing with her sister was right on point. I could tell she was into the moment...like she really had a sister she was talking with about similar subjects. Everyone was great!! I could sit through it again it was so good!

 I've always enjoy Neil Simon, and nowI've learned that Brighton Beach Memoirs is the first of Neil Simon's semi-autobiographical trilogy (followed by Biloxi Blues, which I was familiar with from the movie, and Broadway Bound, which I have not seen). This is an excellent production of the play, and the cast is uniformly excellent in their parts. I highly recommend seeing it!

 The acting was fantastic. Shep Harper as Eugene was a standout!

 Had such a great time. The cast was fantastic.

 I loved it. It was much better than cats. I am going to see it again and again

 We enjoyed the venue and the program.

 Great event! Great way to thank those who worked so hard.

 LOVED LOVED LOVED !! SO FUNNY !! THANK YOU !!!!!!

 Could not stop laughing at the antics. Had a great time!

 The Best performance. Great show.

 Love it. Fantastic cast, all strong characters. The play is so cleverly executed and written. I cannot recall if it was billed as “adult theme” due to the language. It was a bit disconcerting to hear cuss words.

 The show was a BLAST! Everyone did fantastic!

 Funny and well done. Very talented actors and directors.

 Absolutely delightful experience! Physical improvements to theatre, such as lighting and sound system, are evident, and obviously impacted the quality of the performance. Costumes, sets, and backdrops are impressive. to take on a Broadway musical with singing, dancing, and extended cast size is quite the challenge, which Stagecrafters certainly mastered and delivered. The event was a comedic success. Thanks for pure, but somewhat naughty, entertainment.

 The play and music was enjoyable

 This performance has to be one of the best we've seen put on by Stage Crafters to date. Granted, our experience only extends back the last two seasons, but this show was truly a standout. The script, of course, is inherently funny but the direction was top notch and the entire cast killed it! We're eagerly awaiting the 2024 season!

 Excellent casting. Sound system improvement made a huge difference! We'll be back next season as Stagecrafters performances are well done and enjoyable.

 Stage Crafters doesn’t disappoint! Something Rotten was hilarious, the music was fabulous, and the dancing was wonderful!

 Another excellent production from Stagecrafters talented company. Well done. So very happy to learn that the property problem was solved so successfully and that more Stagecrafters performances are in my future.

 I can't say enough good things about the performances, choreography, costumes, set! From start to finish we were hanging on every word, looking for references, or crying from laughter. The dance numbers, costumes, and performances were exceptional! Such a wonderful evening, and appreciate the amazing talent and hard work that went into the show! Thank you all!

 Very entertaining and beautiful. The lights, costumes, the sounds, and the color of it all made for a dazzling spectacle that was also a knee-slapping good time.

 Something Rotten is a hilarious musical! The cast was wonderfully talented and their energy level was over the top. It is one of the best productions I've seen from Stagecrafters. I'd love to see it again.

 It is cumbersome to order tickets for individual plays on line.

 Unexpected ending

 Got 'em!

 I thought from advertisement that this was a who done it mystery meal, but it was just a boring sales pitch with an overpriced meal. Wil know not to go to another event away from the theater again no matter what it looks like they are selling tickets too. The rest of the people at our table thought they had paid for a who done it mystery experience as well. I really felt bad about wasting money on this it was only fun being with husband should have gone to Ihop instead.

 This event was fun and delicious!

 Very creative approach to getting more Patrons to support Stage Crafters!

 Awesome as ALWAYS. So thankful to have Stage Crafters in our town !!!

 We inadvertently "forgot" about the play and failed to attend. We have been discouraged for the past two seasons, and, in fact, we will not be renewing our membership with Stage Crafters. We thank you for the productions that did make us laugh and were enjoyed.

 Acting was good, I just feel the play was poorly written. It was too complicated and just off with its humor/seriousness. If you are doing a war based play you either need to remain serious or go all humor as in “Hogan’s Heroes” style.

 I didn't like the play at all. The actors, as usual, did an excellent job but I didn't care for the storyline of the play. Poor choice of productions.

 Wonderful cast Great props People seriously dedicated to their craft- as audience members the assiduity of the performers is very palpable Thanks!!

 The actors were very good considering the poor choice of play. The theater was half empty (there were only two of us in my row - center K) and some of them left at the intermission. Not the actors fault just not the best choice of material for them to work with. I found the scenery changing more entertaining. Sorry to be so harsh but Stagecrafters has a better reputation than this.

 Unfortunately, I had not read this book. The anti- God theme throughout the first half caused me to leave at intermission. My husband and I love attending stage crafters events but we’re very disappointed this time.

 Actors/actresses were good but hard to follow storyline. Supposed to be satirical I think, but wasn’t all that funny. Just a sad tough storyline, incredibly disjointed - back & forth on so many different character lives. Didn’t particularly care for it at all. Kudos to the actors, though.

 I didn't love Catch 22. I wanted to. I don't know if it was the play itself or the execution of it but something was off key. With so many actors playing multiple roles, it was hard to follow. Some characters were funny at times but, none of them were very likeable. I didn't love the set but, I don't know how I would have done it better. I've always enjoyed Stagecrafter's performances just not this one.

 A well acted but difficult play to follow. Cast, especially Yo Yo was excellent. Proud of Doug for accepting this challenging play to bring to the stage. He is always bringing the bar higher. Some people probably didn't enjoy this type of play when looking to be entertained, but some especially former military will enjoy the humor.

 I loved it! My date not so much but she’s nursing a broken foot. My only disappointment is that I worked night shift the night before and had trouble staying awake. Gave it a standing ovation! Bravo!

 The play was absolutely incredible! The performance was filled with energy, entertainment, and precision! The actors and actresses were fantastic! Without a doubt, I will make sure to go see it again!

 I like going to the stage crafter. This is the first play I didn’t enjoy. The actors are so good. The humor is great! But I guess I need to see the movie. I understand the play was the movie mash was a spin-off from Catch 22. I use the phase but never understood why !

 I enjoyed it but not as much at the other previous plays. sometimes I could not hear the lines, I felt I needed to understand the military background more that was being satirized. But I love stagecraft's, the acting was superb. Staging was very well done with all the moving around.

 Super enjoyed it. The players and staff put so much work into it and it showed. Looking forward to coming to more plays.

 Awesome as always !!!! My favorite thing to do here in Fort Walton is coming to these plays. Thank you!!

 The play was very professionally performed and was very entertaining.

 This was a really good show! I can tell everyone worked very hard for their roles. I loved the Judge. That actor was fantastic and having to remember all those lines!! Wow!! The detective was also very good. Loved when he got up close and into people's faces! Fantastic show. Still not as good as Shrek!!! We need that one to return. I could see it several times and it will still be fun!

 It was amazing. I love seeing the new lighting, and I love the speech that was given to let us know that all financial worries over.

 Casting for this show was excellent. Actors were natural in their characters the entire time. Well done first time director Holly Moore. And the costumes were perfect! Thanks Tess

 This was my first time catching a run of one of your plays. I loved it. The stage design, the props, and the sound design were excellent. This was a date night for me and my lady and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

 Another great show. Loved it!

 can't say enough. Great job, great talent and fun afternoon( I attended the Sunday matinee).

 They made the story and drama come to life!! Enjoyed completely!

 As always a great performance by everyone on stage and those who worked off stage. Looking forward to catching Catch 22 next.

 Another excellent production, with too many wonderful individual performances for me to single out just one.

 Not up to your usual very high quality of acting. The one gentleman who I have seen several times I think his name is William was his usual excellent self but the rest of the actors lacked Stagecrafters usual polish. I and my companions left the theater disappointed. I’m sorry.

 Sometimes they spoke very fast and the words got lost in the British accent being used.

 Any thought to concessions during intermission? Could help your revenue.

 Thank you!

 Moving

 WONDERFUL. Enthralled with the precise interaction of the players.

 I have always loved the story and the game. The play was so much fun I went a second time. Great performance all around.

 Great play.

 Loved it, very enjoyable. Agatha Christie my favorite mystery writer, so it was a real enjoyment.

 I continue to be disappointed in the surcharge added to the ticket price. How else are we to pay except by a credit card? It wipes away the senior discount. We enjoyed CLUE very much, one of our favorites.

 This was one of the best performances of this play that I have even seen. Mr. Chancellor was a tour de force! The comedic timing was impeccable and the performances just silly and sincere enough to sell the characters and their many quirks. A delightful mystery!

 It was hilarious but kind of scary lol

 I took my mom and daughter to see this and it was absolutely fantastic. Fun and full of laughs and very reminiscent to the movie. We've seen two shows at stage crafters and absolutely loved both. Looking forward to so many more.

 The actors were superb! Can't wait for your next show! I will especially like to be attending any musicals.
