Dundalk Community Theatre

We recently went to the production of the musical Chess. We have been going to shows here for many years and have always enjoyed them especially the musicals. I must say that this one is not one of my favorties. The stage settings were nicely done but I did not enjoy the plot line at all. I guess cause I am not really a chess fan. It was also outdated. Usually the actors have nice voices and their acting is on target. This production on the first evening had the actors singing way too loud and high into the microphones. .I heard several other people talking about this at intermission. Usually there is one actor who stands out during the show and gets a great round of applause. This did not happen this evening. I just think it is a badly written show. None of the songs were outstanding and had you tapping your feet or leaving the theatre singing.
I will continue to support the theatre and I am glad they ventue out and try new productions. I know the cost of obtaining the rights to some of the most popular ones can be very expensive. I just did not feel this one was as entertaining as the others.
