"The Oldest Profession"

by Paula Vogel

(May 2008)

AUDIENCE MEMBER REVIEW OF OUR SEASON'S FINAL SHOW, "THE OLDEST PROFESSION""I'd like to send out the message that, in these intense times, there is great art and comic-relief to be had, locally and at a bargain! The current, last-of-the-season production by non-profit Gettysburg Stage, The Oldest Profession by Paula Vogel is so well-presented - funny and yet poignant (they call their series "edgy") and full of wit... I highly recommend it. We laughed straight through, with maybe a tear or two along with the smiles at the end. The plot is full of mature insights, humor about aging and sex (is there any other way?) and still-timely politics....... Local Little Theatre takes a sophisticated step with this group, directed by Pamela Hurlbert, stage design and management by her husband, David Hurlbert- they interned professionally at Totem Pole and traveled nationally to work stage productions. We are lucky to have them back home!"
