"Sean (Whiteford)’s incredible voice filled and dominated the theater, surpassing even the performance of Tim Curry himself in the original movie role."

- Out in NJ Magazine

"I'm not kidding when I say that Whiteford is a genius... and a very good vocal director. The last time I saw this much singing talent on one stage, I was in the mid-40s on the West side of Manhattan. Jessica Cesario is astonishing."

- Eric Francis, Book of Blue Photography & Planet Waves, Inc.

"...the dedication and talent that this group has displayed is something to be cultivated."

- Jeanette Relyea, Clear Channel Radio

"(Castaway's) Rocky Horror Show was by far the most professional production that has ever graced the Colony Cafe."

- The Colony Cafe, 2006

"What makes The Castaway Players different than the other theatre groups around the area?"

When was the last time you saw a production where every single performer was an exceptional singer, dancer, and most of all, actor? Here at Castaway, we bring to our audiences the absolute best talent in NY. With this being said less experienced performers should not feel discouraged about trying out for our productions. The directors at Castaway Players know how to perfectly place any performer in their shows and showcase them in the brightest light. The training and rehearsal process is both rigorous and fun, the enviornment is very supportive and friendly, and most of all, the outcomes are overwhelmingly notable. The staff at Castaway believes that developing craft, technique, confidence, and professionalism is the key to growth and achievement as a performer. Even the youngest and/or least experienced performers leave a Castaway production more polished and stronger than before. Another bright quality of the group is the lifelong friends and colleagues you meet while rehearsing. Everyone at The Castaway Players Theatre Group is family to us.
