Thanks to Salt Lake County ZAP funds, this season Salt Lake Acting Company has ticket prices to fit every budget. See a free performance of The Caretaker Tuesday, September 15, at 7:00pm. Call to reserve your seats. 'Directing a Pinter play is like working with the top language expert in the English language?no one knows how to put together sentences and pauses better than Pinter. The experience of the Caretaker is not a comfortable, romantic one. It pulls the audience into an emotional roller coaster as it depicts the realities of human nature and presents a not so pretty picture of times gone by and our times. The complexity of the play, Pinter's masterful use of dialogue, and the depth and perception shown in Pinter's themes all contribute to The Caretaker's consideration as a modern masterpiece. How often do you get to do a 'modern masterpiece'?' - John Vreeke, Director. The Caretaker features Joe Cronin, Daniel Beecher, and Matthew Ivan Bennett

      This was a marvel to behold. The first thing that happened as I entered the theatre was a warm welcome by the assistant producer. She showed us around the facility and was extremly kind. They adverstise that they treat their subscribers like royalty and its true. I felt like I was in a different world. Then, when I entered the theatre, I was taken aback by the wonderful set. The stage was deep yet was dressed right up to the front, pulling me into the world of the play. The acting was incredible as well. Everything had meaning to the actors and they created such complex characters. Joe Cronin is to be commended for learning the part in two weeks after the previous actor had to take leave due to the physical strain of the show and David Beecher is to be appluded for his work as well. His charatcer was so intense and the emotions behind his acting, while not always blared out through his lines, still crackled with a type of electricity underneath his acting. It was simply stunning. Collapse
