Just a Matter of Time at the Boothbay Playhouse

"We of the north country often do drive south, and that's just what I did to see a performance of Sandra Dutton's 'Just a Matter of Time', a children's musical, at the Boothbay Playhouse.  It is Dutton's first musical.  It was brilliant and witty and laugh-out-loud funny. . . .''Just a Matter of Time' had a two-week Equity Showcase run at the Sage Theatre in New York City in January.  The musical is entertaining for sure, but it's also thoughtful with a clear message about the need to give children the opportunity to problem-solve, not just memorize and parrot rote answers.  And let me tell you, the performers--local kids aged 9 to heading-off-to-college pretty much sums up the lot--were the most talented bunch of kids (local or otherwise) I've been witness to in quite a while.  And I mean talented--dancers, singers, actors.  Weren't they fortunate to have collided with Dutton's amazing material!
