Performing Arts Live review
“SWEET THURSDAY at the Pacific Resident Theatre is one of the most realistic feeling plays that we have seen in a long time. The detailed sets, costumes, staging and even the hair stylings all contribute to the sense that you are right there at Cannery Row with them. A skilled and dedicated cast very capably presents the material to us. This handsome adaptation of the John Steinbeck novel is a winner and one of our FEATURED events. GO!” – Performing Arts LIVE
