What I liked

I somehow didn’t get a program, but the first guy who performs the opening monologue, June 4th, was brilliant. It was like a poetry slam for the political revolution. The writing of most shorts, was cerebral and intelligent and shyed away from party bashing, mostly.

What I didn't like

Actors should really learn their lines. Even during the newscast sketch, they were clearly reading their lines, and not really acting. Mature actors should have gotten out of the "search for my lines on the floor’ routine by now.

My overall impression

Definitely for the AARP crowd. I was sure I was the youngest in the audience and I am 41. After the opening monologue, everything else could have used a brush up. A good ‘ole college try, if you went to college in the 70’s.
