I highly recommend this film; in particular, to anyone who has participated in community theater!

It beautifully sums up the personal growth, appreciation of great literature, relationship-building, and downright silliness and shenanigans embodied by the experience of theatre from behind the curtain. 

The personalities of the main characters are three-dimensional, with all of their wonderful personal attributes and foibles evident. 

The magic is in the way they all interact with each other in such a plausible, entertaining (and perhaps even thought-provoking) way. 

And yet, they still have their personal mysteries as well. 

I especially appreciated the portrayal of the way in which each person interprets a work of great literature in their own unique way.

A great film for teachers of literature and theatre to recommend to their students! 

I found myself inspired to go back and read Cyrano and then see it on the stage again
