Audience Reviews
- "★★★★★ 5 Stars! Glory... amazing show.... a must see. " - Jane K., Email.
- "★★★★★ 5 Stars! What we loved most of all was the choreography of the hockey games. Being able to bring the excitement of an actual hockey game on a rink inside an arena where there was no ice and the actors wearing only shoes was an amazing feat - and the part we enjoyed most." - Spinteacher, Tripadvisor.
- "★★★★★ 5 Stars! Great Show! You don’t have to be a hockey fan to love it." - Laurie G., Email.
- "★★★★★ 5 Stars! It was an excellent production, the actors were perfect. It had a great mix of humour, drama, and some very emotional scenes." - Kathie O., Email.
- "★★★★★ 5 Stars! The five actors rise to the ebb and flow of struggles and triumphs during a time of economical and political upheaval in Canada and around the world. A well deserved standing ovation for the author, the actors, the choreography, the set and every facet of this wonderful show." - Martin S., Email.
