What I liked

I was impressed by all of the actor’s performances, but Katelyn Schiller particularly broke my heart as the waitress and daughter trying to save her family’s diner. I could not stop watching her face as she responded to the world around her.

What I didn't like

My overall impression

Superb acting, writing, and direction that immediately transports you to two separate settings in the early 1980s. The script was clean, quick-paced, and the characters well developed. The direction was clear and cohesive- not a moment was missed. The actor’s performances were deep, nuanced, and sometimes surprising. I LOVED this show. I wish it had been a two act- it really deserved additional time on that stage.
