I’ll be honest — I may be a little biased, because the lead actress is my daughter. But I promise you, every word of this review is the truth.
Watching Andrea Keck bring Nancy Donough to life in the world premiere of BANSHEE was one of the most moving experiences I’ve ever had as a mom. She carried this role with such grace, depth, and raw emotion that I found myself forgetting she was my daughter and just being completely swept away by her performance. I was proud and emotional all at once — and that feeling didn’t leave me when the lights came up.
BANSHEE, written by local playwright Adam Richter and directed by Jody Reppert, is a beautifully haunting story about legacy, courage, and the things we carry across generations. The themes hit deep. This isn’t just good local theater — this is the kind of storytelling that stays with you.
And Andrea didn’t do it alone. The entire cast was remarkable. There was a chemistry and commitment on that stage that made every scene feel real and alive. Reading Theater Project has truly outdone themselves with this production.
