My overall impression

A charming portrait of small town life, built around the various people working at a door factory. Greg Abbot steps into his characters without costume changes or light cues or really anything, other than the simple gesture of picking up a specific prop. An orange. A broom. A toothpick. That’s pretty much it, and this device fits nicely into the intimate tone of the show. His most fully realized character is a lady named Darlene, who comes to life so quickly and completely that it is easy to imagine her world beyond the boundaries of the script. Director Marie Broderick handles the material gently and with love.
