“From the moment The Man in the Chair began his monologue at the top of the show, the audience in the Silver POD was in the palm of his hand. The Nantucket Stage Company’s production of ‘The Drowsy Chaperone Jr.’ entertained and engaged us with their strong vocal work and their stylized choreography. These students understood the period of the piece and demonstrated skill beyond their years in creating the world of the play,”
