Carrie — TRU STITES

Press

“Also brimming with sincerity and decency is Tru Stites as Sue’s boyfriend Tommy, persuaded to ask Carrie to prom. An unexpected grace note in this version of the story is “You Shine,” Tommy and Sue’s wistful duet imagining what prom night might have meant to them as a couple.”

- Michael Grossberg Special to The Columbus Dispatch
“Breedlove’s Snell and Tru Stites as her counterpart Tommy Ross, make the most out of the least flashy characters, the two popular kids trying to get out of high school with their souls intact and their warmth, humanity, and chemistry with one another helps Breedlove’s line “We were just kids doing our best” hit as one of the saddest moments in Carrie.”
