Through June 22: "The Cemetery Club"

Olympia Little Theatre

By Christian Carvajal on June 19, 2014

There are line flubs, sure. I've heard less covering in Beatlemania. The uncertainty lengthens an already-too-long show to 2:30 plus intermission. Still, it's a tribute to OLT's veteran leads that I almost never knew who went up. The actors remain locked into each other, ad-libbing credibly till the needed words tumble from their cerebral cortices and the show can slip back onto its tracks. The acting here is often quite good, especially (though not exclusively) that of Lark Church as Ida and Tom Lockhart as Sam. Lanita Grice is a molecule over the top as Mildred, but her scene adds levity to an awkward beat.
