The talk on the streets...there's a buzz around town and the name on everyone's lips is Silver Stage Players! We like to list the comments about our company here on our talk page to let people know we are listening to them. These are just a sampling of the comments we get in snail mail, e-mail, over the phone, and in person:
“I thought
the show was great... a great bit of casting, directing and acting. Good
for you guys...And I loved the simple set and the black box arena setting.
Well done, all around. You worked hard, put on a great play, and gave
a great gift to the community!"
John Patrick Rice, PhD Great Basin College of Elko, Nevada on Glengarry Glen Ross (2007)
“Jim and
I enjoyed ourselves. GREAT SHOW once again!"

“The show
was fantastic! We
look forward to future
productions by SSP and Blue Yeti!"

"It was
a great show!"

“I bet Mamet
himself would have loved to see this production and
what they did with it. Even though it was from a smaller acting group,
they
posses great talent, true dedication, and I can see nothing coming from
them in
the future but being on at least an equal footing with professionals,
and I can
guarantee that I will be there watching. "
Damno Valens- Reviewer, The Rant, of Elko, Nevada on Glengarry Glen Ross (2007)
" No watered
down version, this! An impressive production of Glengarry Glen Ross but
not for the easily offended. This production reflected
accurately the Mamet play, not typical in a small town like Elko. The
performance of the actors playing the two main characteters was super.
While watching you could imagine Jack
Lemmon (Mel Flores) and Al Pacino (Derek Burwell) playing off of each
other in the movie version. And the Alex Baldwin (Kenny Rose) movie character
was close as well. The setting was also unique. The audience (suprisely
60% women) sat on stage close to the actors in a set where you felt like
you were actually in Chicago with the L train rushing past the window.
A rewarding
experience, don't miss it."
From Mystery Man on the Town, an Elko Daily Free Press online article comment on Glengarry Glen Ross (2007)
"It
was really good!"
Sarah Conner of Elko, Nevada on Glengarry Glen Ross (2007)
“I
truly thought it was powerful and well executed. Everyone was to me 100%
their character.......I noticed others in the audience leaning forward
in
their seats as the play progressed. . there can be no bigger
compliment."
Pam Flores of Elko, Nevada on Glengarry Glen Ross (2007)
"It
was great."
Damien of Elko, Nevada on Glengarry Glen Ross (2007)
