4.0 out of 5 stars Witty and cute--saved by supporting characters, October 23, 1999

By A Customer

Stage Door is a nice little play with lots of great comic moments and interseting characters. The main plot of the play deals with Terry Randal, a hardworking young actress trying to make it on 1930's Broadway. This storyline is not too engrossing, and the wooden character of Terry tends to get on one's nerves awfully fast. The redeeming parts of Stage Door, however, are the side plots which feature witty Judith Canfield, zany Bernice, tragic Kaye Hamilton and numerous other supporting characters. Stage Door is certaintly worth a read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Stage Door, August 26, 2005

By	Susan (Canada) - See all my reviews

I was in a production of Stage Door and it's one of my favourite plays that I have been in. It's great because it's funny, tragic, and speaks to an actor on a personal level. It's also great because it is a play with so many great female roles. It's usually hard to find a good play where the female roles out number the male roles so it's great that this play does. I definately recommend it to someone to read and for someone to put on a performance of, especially if they have a shortage of male actors but an ambundance of female actors. If you like this play you might also want to check out the film version starring Katherine Hepburn, Ginger Rogers and Lucille Ball.

5.0 out of 5 stars It is one of the best plays/books ever!, April 12, 1999

By A Customer

I was in a performance of this and thought that it was really great, I really enjoyed it. The main (female)character is Terry, and the 2nd lead is Kaye Hamilton. She is the only gloomy part of the entire thing but is SO cool!!
