Bay City Players Inc — Attraction in Bay City

I have been going to the Players for many years now. The talent displayed by our local theater is so far above average...it has always been a great evening out. But tonight's production of August: Osage County was horrible.

While the talent was still far above average, the choice of play was horrible. The subject matter was dark and never ending. The language was horribly offensive and vile and filthy. The production lasted over 3 hours. I almost got up and left in the middle of the play, except I had 2 80+ year old ladies with me and we were sitting in the middle of the row.

While I recognize that art can sometimes reflect an uncomfortable darkness, a small-town theater supported and patronized by families of all ages (and mostly by the senior members of those families) is not a place for a regular seasonal production of this type of play...the only warning being "for audiences over 18."

With all the wonderful talent represented in Bay City (and this play, in partucular) you can do better, Bay City Players, in your voice of productions.

APPLAUDS to the wonderfully-talented actors and actresses.

BOOHISS to choice of this production! Highly...

When I got to the theater, I ended up speaking with her in person, along with another very nice women at the box office - about theater in general. We discussed where they both liked to seat.

I ended up changing my seat to one they suggested and wow! I had a perfect view of the stage!!

The performance itself was.. remarkable. I was lost in amazement at the sets, the costumes and the voices!

This experience was everything I could have hoped for.

I will be going back to this theater in the future. The staff were incredible. The location was clean and vibrant. Beautiful place to see a...

Great program for young people! Fantastic volunteers and participants!! Very clean, inviting atmosphere with comfortable seating. The audience area is carpeted throughout, except the restrooms, but a wheelchair or other assistive device can easily be used. There is handicap parking across the street, but there is a double set of doors which are not automatic so help is needed to get in. A handicap accessible ramp is inside to get into the theater and wheelchair seating is available. Can't wait to see the...
