“BOTH SINCERE AND EDEARING”

Doug Sturdivant of DFW Center Stage writes: “Jessica Humphrey is the small town schoolteacher Linda Mason. Linda had hopes of performing but stayed home to help her father instead of pursuing a career. She’s a sort of pragmatic dreamer and Jim helps her reawaken her dreams. Humphrey is a sensational actor, dancer, and singer. Her Linda is both sincere and endearing. Humphrey’s engaging demeanor gives Linda an undeniable lovability factor and she charms both Jim and us.”

Carol Rice of Onstage NTX writes: Max J. Swarner plays jilted leading man Jim Hardy with sweet sincerity and a soaring tenor. He really shines in “The Little Things in Life” and, of course, “White Christmas.” Swarner pairs beautifully with Jessica Humphrey as girl-next-door Linda Mason. Her solo “Nothing More to Say” is one of the highlights of Act II. Their excellent chemistry and budding romance are aided by the songs....and Louise, portrayed by Leslie Marie Collins, the resident “handyman,” who also acts as matchmaker whenever she can.
