‘Funny Girl’ truly a first-rate production

Village Theatre’s production of “Funny Girl” deservedly received a standing ovation for a stunning performance full of talent, song, dance, glitter and razzle-dazzle. I was proud that I was experiencing such a first-rate production in “little ole Everett,” and I thank each and every person involved!

The Everett Performing Arts Center is a wonderful venue and I want to thank them for offering senior citizens a special matinee.

I so enjoyed and appreciated all.
