REVIEWS

“Alice (Claire Kepple) stands at center stage, surrounded by the cast from The Non-Stop Players, the company in residence at ACE, and delivers a forceful rendition of “If You Knew My Story.”…Opening night of The Non-Stop Players’ production of Bright Star, which runs at ACE through May 12, was emotionally uplifting, and by its sweet end, the musical had the audience tapping its toes to the bluegrass music that dominated the two-act performance. ”

“Claire Kepple is effervescent as Amalia with a voice that soars to operatic heights.”

“But it is the lively talent of Kepple’s Maria that makes this production of The Sound of Music special. Kepple’s Maria is everything that the character should be: unafraid to give the Captain a piece of her mind while simultaneously selfless to a fault. This Maria is vivacious, caring and passionate…The best number of the entire musical was Maria and The Mother Abbess’s rendition of “My Favorite Things.” Their voices blended together flawlessly, bringing personality and vigor to a classic song.”

“Minnie’s chief assistant Stephanie (Claire Kepple) is a serious, talented designer, and, unbeknownst to John, a refugee Russian princess. Kepple plays her with a subtle Russian accent, and her French is quite good. ”
