This bulletin just
in:
In a little-known
obscure off-Broadway (Way off) production, theatre goers are raving
about the performance of new comer, Jenni Hackworth-Fisher, reprising
a role she created two years ago. She wowed local audiences for two
nights in the delightful production of "Come See Our Valley."
Hackworth-Fisher starred in the musical as the local school teacher
as she explains to her young students the tremendous challenges faced
by the early residents in trying to get water to the valley. The
story is a remarkable story of sacrifice, hard work, faith, and sheer
determination. Written by a local bishop ( lay ecclesiastical
leader), it tells the story of how the early Mormons loved the
Hurricane valley, but each year the crops were flooded by the river,
so they needed to dig a canal through the steep, rocky terrain. What
started out as a four year project ended up taking over 8 years.
Hackworth-Fisher
sang with a strong voice and her acting kept the audience engaged as
she had some lengthy speeches to explain the history. It also came
to the attention of this critic that she was working with an
additional handicap as she had a cold.
But, in true actor
fashion, she declared that the show must go on. Great job by all,
and in this writer's opinion, she's a shoe-in for Best Actress in a
leading role!
