Renaissance Theatre in Lynchburg, Virginia put on a staged reading of THE ARMADILLO QUEEN on June 25, and it was, well, spectacular.

Besides a fantastic cast, we had a full house. Every available seat was taken, and one latecomer had to stand. OK, admission was free, but still . . .

Also got great feedback from the audience:

“It’s funny.”
— Joe S.

“Super funny.”
— Alicia P.

“Twas fun – well done and well written. I’m so glad I got to see it!”
— Jennifer P.

And from the director himself: “Congrats again, Dwayne. Beautiful script and story.”
