At the Top in Performing Arts

Flatwater Shakespeare productions and actors were well represented in Journal Star reporter Jeff Korbelik’s top picks for 2010.

In the Top Five Shows – Antony and Cleopatra, directed by Bob Hall, with a special tribute to the “electric chemistry” shared between Vince Learned and Melissa Lewis Nuss in the title roles.

In the Top Five Individual Performances – Melissa Lewis Nuss as our passionate and imperious Egyptian queen.

And in Three of only Four Honorable Mentions – Robie Hayek, “Lincoln’s best comedic actor,” as Launce in The Two Gentlemen of Verona; Bob Hall as Max, the irascible patriarch in Harold Pinter’s The Homecoming; and Gage Wallace in the title role of UNL’s Dylan but also noted for his work as Proteus in The Two Gentlemen of Verona.
