It’s a shame the schism between ATC and the majority of its ensemble members has created double productions and competition for audience. Kareem Bandealy and Mary Winn Heider have the thankless task of assuming roles Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed cornered, yet they manage to capture the love and humor that bind the couple. Rick Kubes’ on-time Foley work enhances the production’s retro feel, no mean feat. The ensemble’s impressive vocal dexterity enables it to handle the multiple castings with aplomb Bernard Balbot gives Mel Blanc a run for his money. Its news reports, dedications and re-creation of Frank Capra’s classic make for poignant, gentle entertainment.
