Summit Players stage Star Spangled Girl in Pocahontas
Bluefield's Summit Players offered Neil Simon's The Star Spangled Girl with Ellen Peters as the title star delivering strong acting in a not-quite-first-rate script. Alan Light and Paul Thomas III carried their parts in a praiseworthy, albeit limited, three-actor production directed by Erlene Branch. The reviewer notes wasted talent given Summit's depth and urges audiences to see the show, with additional performances scheduled for tonight and June 9 and 10.
