They perform at the Valentine Theatre and everything I have seen from them has been the highest level of community theater and their latest production of Anastasia: The Musical is no exception. Anastasia is adapted from the 1997 animated film of the same name by Stephen Flaherty (music), Lynn Ahrens (lyrics) and Terrence McNally (book) with many of the same songs and story points. However, in my opinion, the adaptation sapped much of the joy out of the story leaving it quite dull and lifeless.
