Broadway World Review by Dan Marois
’The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee’ at The Barnstormers: This Show Spells Success

“I have seen other productions at the Barnstormers in recent years and they all have been consistently top notch. This show, however, electrifies the confines of the intimate theater with a spectacular set, powerful orchestra, and a talented and diverse cast. I would say that the new artistic director, Jordan Ahnquist, has taken the theater to new heights.”

Review: Barnstormers ‘Mousetrap’: Christie at her best

“Christie productions are always Barnstormers’ bread and butter. This version of ‘Mousetrap’ is no exception, with impeccable designing and staging from scenic designer Rachel Rose Roberts, lighting designer Karen Perlow, sound designer Kimberly O’Loughlin and costume designer Chelsie Cartledge Rose.”

’Front Row to Murder’ at Barnstormers a solid whodunit

“It’s a rare treat to get to see a new play in New Hampshire, especially one written specifically for the theater and surrounding community presenting it. That’s exactly what playwright Jordan Reeves has done with “Front Row to Murder,” which had its world premiere performance last Thursday at The Barnstormers Theatre in Tamworth.”

Review: 'Barefoot’ offers charm, laughs at Barnstormers

“Outstanding in the role of buttoned-up husband Paul Bratter is Sam Simahk, whose “all-in” exasperation at the shenanigans displayed by his free-spirted bride is constant and palpable, quote often conveyed by no more than a deadpan stare.”

Review: 'Something Rotten!’ — Barnstormers starts season with much hilarity

“‘Something Rotten!,’ which opened Thursday with daily performances (except Monday) through July 5, is set in 1590 and opens with the lively ensemble piece “Welcome to the Renaissance” with Jorge Barranco leading the number as a minstrel highlighting all the innovations of the Renaissance. The playful song sets the tone of the show, which director Jordan Ahnquist keeps breezy and riotous.”

— Alec Kerr, The Conway Daily Sun

“At the end of the pageantry, Jordan Ahnquist, artistic director of The Barnstormers Theatre, was crowned 2025 Valley Mr. and earned a donation of $500 in addition to the funds he raised in his Cash Can.”

Review: 'Into the Breeches' a funny, empowering tribute to theater

“For anyone who has been on or behind stage, there are so many details that will ring true to the creative process. Brant’s script ideally captures the collaborative joy of creating art as a group. Significantly, the play also makes a valid argument for the importance and need for art, especially in trying times.”
