– June 2024 / Audience Comments
URINETOWN, Lakeshore Players Theatre
“This production directed by Greta Grosch is overflowing with wit and even a splash of wisdom. Grosch fills the production with countless comic touches…”
– April 2024 / Rob Dunkelberger, the Stages of MN
“It’s a fantastic production, with direction that hits on all of the humor and relevancy of the script. Greta Grosch takes the helm, leaning into the comic satirical almost campy tone. Everything is big, broad, and over-the-top, yet somehow still grounded with moments of humanity and heart.”
– June 2024 / Jill, Schafer, Cherry and Spoon
GUTS AND GRATITUDE: A Widower’s Cabaret
“It’s a hit folks. It’s a hit. So incredibly good”

“People!!!!! You. Must. See. This. Show.”
