Riggins to Star in Olney Tatinee. City of Angels Impresses
Roy Meachum Riggins headlines Olney Theatre's Tatinee season while National Theatre's City of Angels earns strong praise for clever staging.

Meachum notes Riggins' charm and stage presence, yet questions the overall production value of Tegal Motion. City of Angels stuns with pacing and a stellar cast led by Betsy Joslyn, though Gelbart's spoofing satire leaves some audience members wanting more.
