Laugh out loud funny. Stellar performances by the Fluet and Keranen, surrounded by a wonderful ensemble. Fluet's play flourishes under Victor Issac's direction and delivers this roller coaster of a production. A first date between Lorraine who has some issues and a hit man might be their last....

That I was at a dinner theater in the Catskills in the 1950's.
It's a great tongue in cheek take on a bunch of great love songs sung by an amazing cast of singers. Great voices and Great performances!...

This a woman who knows what she wants and is down and no bullshit and that was this performance. A flawed character to be sure, fucked over by men who don't deserve her, to be sure.

Ultimately we want her to succeed and are left with the confidence that she will be.

This show was difficult for me and I suppose to a certain extent as a man, it's supposed to be. THIS SHOW DESERVES BETTER ATTENDANCE than what they had the night I saw it.
As for the play, I think at its heart this show is about the line between sexual violence and consent and wanting to start a conversation and come to some degree of understanding in that, but I also think it's about power. Sex as a tool. In this play the fucking rotten excuses for men that exist in this characters world o...

This show is a tour de force for both of these actors and can not be missed. You can't take your eyes off them as they push this story of grief and rage forward. Nedra Gallegos and Scott Leggett never hit a false note in this raw and emotional script. Leggett's use and understanding of the power of stillness is arresting and Gallegos perfect playing of a unsympathetic character that we can't help but to sympathize with....
