Catch 22

(Aug 18-20 & 25-27, 2023)

Event Flyer

CATCH-22, written by Joseph Heller and adapted from his classic 1961 novel, is a fast-paced satire of the folly of war and those who make it pay as seen through the eyes of Captain John Yossarian, a nihilistic pilot convinced his number is up. Every time 'Yo-Yo' reaches his quota of missions, the requirements are increased until he flatly refuses to fly because he believes the military is deliberately trying to send him to an untimely death – how dare they! As he concocts ever more inventive ways of avoiding his missions, unforgettable characters like Minderbinder, Clevinger, Lt. Colonel Korn, Nurse Duckett, and Major Major sometimes aid in his schemes but usually hilariously foil them. In the end, Yossarian has it all figured out but then there's always a catch...

     The actors were superb. It was often confusing when a handful of actors played multiple roles. The cast could have been larger so (as example) the Chaplain could be distinguished from his 2 other characters. Same with the man in a cowboy hat - I couldn't separate his characters. Same with the nurse and the hooker. Sorry to be so critical, but this was a valiant attempt at an extremely difficult play to pull off. 😬 it isn't among my favorites.

     We inadvertently "forgot" about the play and failed to attend. We have been discouraged for the past two seasons, and, in fact, we will not be renewing our membership with Stage Crafters. We thank you for the productions that did make us laugh and were enjoyed.

   Acting was good, I just feel the play was poorly written. It was too complicated and just off with its humor/seriousness. If you are doing a war based play you either need to remain serious or go all humor as in “Hogan’s Heroes” style.

   I wasn't familiar with this story, but it was entertaining. There was a lot of funny moments and the actor playing the doctor was very good at his part.

   I didn't like the play at all. The actors, as usual, did an excellent job but I didn't care for the storyline of the play. Poor choice of productions.

How did you like the event?

   Not quite a 5 star this time. Not due to the actors performance, they all did quite well. I read the book years back and found it funny. However, it seems like the screen and stage versions just lacked something the book had.

How did you like the event?

   The actors were very good considering the poor choice of play. The theater was half empty (there were only two of us in my row - center K) and some of them left at the intermission. Not the actors fault just not the best choice of material for them to work with. I found the scenery changing more entertaining. Sorry to be so harsh but Stagecrafters has a better reputation than this.

 Unfortunately, I had not read this book. The anti- God theme throughout the first half caused me to leave at intermission. My husband and I love attending stage crafters events but we’re very disappointed this time.

How did you like the event?

   I was impressed with actors and how they came across to the audience. The problem was with the play. It was too busy, (although may be true in the military) confusing and even though it was funny at times it was sad. The actors did a great job and there were so many lines to memorize!! John Stackpoole (Yossarian) was awesome and my favorite. David Goodfriend was really funny with his expressions. Alexander Lugo was also very funny with his shakes and ailments!

How did you like the event?

   Actors/actresses were good but hard to follow storyline. Supposed to be satirical I think, but wasn’t all that funny. Just a sad tough storyline, incredibly disjointed - back & forth on so many different character lives. Didn’t particularly care for it at all. Kudos to the actors, though.

How did you like the event?

   I didn't love Catch 22. I wanted to. I don't know if it was the play itself or the execution of it but something was off key. With so many actors playing multiple roles, it was hard to follow. Some characters were funny at times but, none of them were very likeable. I didn't love the set but, I don't know how I would have done it better. I've always enjoyed Stagecrafter's performances just not this one.

How did you like the event?

   A well acted but difficult play to follow. Cast, especially Yo Yo was excellent. Proud of Doug for accepting this challenging play to bring to the stage. He is always bringing the bar higher. Some people probably didn't enjoy this type of play when looking to be entertained, but some especially former military will enjoy the humor.

   I loved it! My date not so much but she’s nursing a broken foot. My only disappointment is that I worked night shift the night before and had trouble staying awake. Gave it a standing ovation! Bravo!

How did you like the event?

   I like going to the stage crafter. This is the first play I didn’t enjoy. The actors are so good. The humor is great! But I guess I need to see the movie. I understand the play was the movie mash was a spin-off from Catch 22. I use the phase but never understood why !

How did you like the event?

   I enjoyed it but not as much at the other previous plays. sometimes I could not hear the lines, I felt I needed to understand the military background more that was being satirized. But I love stagecraft's, the acting was superb. Staging was very well done with all the moving around.
