Geoffrey Nelson’s production of Joe Orton’s What the Butler Saw closed on April 17, 2011, after a very successful run at CATCO in Columbus, Ohio.

“Under the measured direction of Geoffrey Nelson,” The Columbus Dispatch review noted, “six actors knit together into a seamless ensemble ….”  Critic Michael Grossberg described the show as “hilarious” and called it a “polished, well-cast production.”

A glowing review combined with enthusiastic word-of-mouth from audiences led to several sold-out houses.  Sales for the three-week run of Butler easily surpassed expectations.
