Steve Vilendrer performs brilliantly as John Proctor in Arthur Miller's play about the Salem witchhunt, seen as a metaphor for the Senator McCarthy anti-communist hearings. venue- Eden Prairie High School

  • Break a leg, hope you nail it.

  • he's not too good. keeps shouting and then going quiet.

  • Yes, it's called dynamics. We're so used to monotone TV we've forgotten what it means to have a contrast of range and how much more effective it makes a performance. He's far better than anything else I've seen done with The Crucible.

  • this isn't very well done, particularly the "it is my name" dialague. he yells at unnecessary parts.

    dude, you're not daniel day lewis, you just suck

  • Your stupid remarks aside, he brings a power to that line that I've never heard from even the recording of the original Broadway play. If you're thinking of being a drama critic I urge you not to quit your day job.

  • Talent an looks, good combo.

  • Yep, and really a great guy. That's why he got a leading role in our feature.

  • BRILLIANT performance. He grasped the emotion and set of the scene so well. It left me speechless... I only wish the kids in my English class would have acted this way when we acted it out. I mean, I played Betty and actually started to climb out the window in my classroom. xD

    All I can say is bravo. VERY nicely done.

    ***** + Fav.

  • great job, honestly, very well done. for a high school play, it seems that it has the right quality the very play demands. and yes, theatre is much more different than TV or film, it requires much more energy and skill, all of you did great, hats of to you all.

  • I'm auditioning for this show in August!

  • @teegemagic The award for the biggest douche goes to...

  • @WildStrawberryFilms A negative remark is not necessarily a stupid one, you know. Personally I don't think it's particularly brilliant, but it's a high school production. You don't expect a Daniel Day Lewis performance.

  • in case somebody with no good knowledge of acting and theatre trying to bring this actor down, please read this: this is a very good acting especially for such a young person. there is nothing called playing with voice, up and down or whatsoever here. when you act, you dont play with voices

  • pretty good

  • but great for high school

  • glib

  • Not very good...the "God is dead" part was done terribly...
