The reviews are in for our production of Noel Coward’s “Hay Fever,” and everyone seems to agree… it’s a hit!

Alice Chalip, writing for the Alameda Journal, opens this way:

“Politely sexy, magnificently costumed and produced, and downright hilarious are apt descriptions of “Hay Fever,” the wild show currently gracing the 70-year-old stage of Altarena Playhouse.”

Ken Bullock, in the Berkeley Daily Planet, writes:

“Hay Fever, an ensemble show if ever there was one, is put on with panache at Altarena Playhouse, with a cast of nine—four ravenous and infighting family members and four increasingly gun-shy weekenders, plus the redoubtable Clara—directed by artistic director Frederick Chacon, all of them working together to make the pieces fit in a hilarious jigsaw puzzle of a pristine day in the country reflected in a sideshow mirror.”

And Gabriella Centurion’s review for the Alameda Sun can be summed up by its headline:

“Howls of Laughter for Hay Fever”

“Hay Fever” runs through August 9th, but shows are selling out quickly. Get your tickets before they’re all gone.
