Yankee Tavern

This bizarre thriller is chocked full of conspiracy theories and crazy twists and turns, it will leave you asking all kinds of questions. I would definitely recommend going to see Yankee Tavern at Hickory Community Theatre's Fireman's Kitchen.

I have seen and worked with two of the actors before, and was highly impressed with the ensemble work I got to see performed on Saturday (April 2nd) night. They worked well with each other, and it was obvious that they were feeding off of each others energy for the show. I was impressed with the level of character work that was done with this show. Each of the characters was very believable. I loved Ray's character, how he was so spazzy but always seemed to know exactly what he was saying.

The only distraction I had was when Ray punched/kicked the jukebox and somehow cut his hand on it, I was able to see the blood and at one point he lifted his hand to his face and got blood on it. I was constantly aware of it, but obviously that was not something that could have been prepared for. The show as a whole was really well done.

I had a lot of unanswered questions that go with the text itself, but I don't see this as a bad thing. If anything, it made me think, therefore creating a more dynamic show overall.
