"Waverly High School (NE) produced 'Last Train' for our annual competitive One Act. We loved this production due to its flexible casting (we wanted to pack plenty of young actors on the stage) as well as the sophisticated, challenging material students got to work with. We went with a minimal set so audiences could really focus on the plight of all the characters, be it the external conflict between the guards and the prisoners, or the internal conflict of Eric and Hans."

"We attend our District festival and won Critic's Choice and Best in Show with straight superiors and rave reviews from the judges. My middle school Jr. Thespians truly gave stunning performances and the ensemble of women on the train were utterly amazing in their emotions, lines, and heartfelt reactions to one another. At our State festival, we also received a Superior rating and were told that we raised the bar with our choice of script and character portrayal. The kids loved all of their characters and our Frau Lipstein received the Outstanding Actor's award for her performance." -- P.M., Orlando, FL (Feb. 2015)
