Review: THE GREAT SHADOW Theatre Reviews for the Serious Theatre-Goer The Slotkin Letter
It was directed by Cynthia Ashperger, with a great sense of how to use a large cast and efficiently use the vast land scape of Winslow Farm, where the show takes place. She has many surprises for the audience especially when an American actress wants to make a grand entrance. The cast of professionals and ‘amateur’ actors is fine and committed.

Director Cynthia Ashperger’s careful vision of preserving small-town Candiana fittingly evokes the busyness and growing fascination of film and its industry whithin Trenton and the mega-city life of Hollywood and Manhattan.

The production values, as usual at 4th Line, are top notch. Director Cynthia Ashperger has done a great job at using every nook and cranny of the barns and barnyard as a playing space for her large cast who all give enthusiastic performances, while Laura Delchiaro’s costumes and Esther Vincent’s set and props are firmly rooted in eye-catching period. Once again, Justin Hiscox has provided a musical score that is a clever mix of real songs and originally composed, jazz-filled, Twenties silent movie music.

There are a few standouts. Colin A. Doyle offers a clear picture of George Brownridge’s great ambission and passion. Matt Gilbert is an excellent Mayor William Ireland, at first refusing to help Brownridge, but then being won over by his brush with fame. Salvatore Scozzari is delightful i his portrayal of the evil Adolph Zukor. Robert Morrison supplies comedic moments as Wibur, who’s not the brightes light in Trenton. Stealing the show is 11-year -od Indigo Chesser, as Sunny Donegal, the star-struck child who wants her mother to marry Tyronne Power. It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Take a minute to write an introduction that is short, sweet, and to the Peterborough Examiner
Director Cynthia Ashperger, who played the lead role in 4th Line Theatre’s 2018 production of “Who Killed Snow White?,” felt an instant connection to the play penned by Poch-Goldin — the playwright behind the popular 4th Line productions of “The Right Road to Pontypool” and “The Bad Luck Bank Robbers” — before taking on the project.
“I think I was sort of a natural fit for it. I grew up in communism in the former Yugoslavia. ‘The Great Shadow’ is about the great shadow of communism,” Ashperger told The Examiner. “I also have a relationship with film because I’ve been in it all my life.”
Ashperger said audiences can expect a story with “a lot of heart.”.
