The Tomb

PREVIEW PERFORMANCE: Intense interesting show that really gives you a clear feeling of what it was like to be in a Tomb. Lots of interesting historical info told in a dramatic and thought provoking way. Fantastic performance by lead actor. Needs to up the volume by opening. Sound effects/acting/lighting are all a beautiful blend of mood and place.... full review

Very important ideas and a great telling of how organized religion has been arguing since it began. It is something that still holds true for today. I saw a preview and the scene changes need to be worked on so hopefully they will be fixed by opening night. Kelton Lin opening the show is delightful. Give that kid one of the podiums. Fun to watch.... full review

Kara Hume has a spot on French Accent and is delightful as Isabella and Eric Rollins as Mortimer is commanding and strong. Love the clergy message that is difficult in this play! Kudos to director and Mr. Johnson and Alex Elliot-Funk as the Bishop. Really makes sense of this part of show. Amazing curtain call also. If you like some verse you need to see this show.... full review

A Steady Rain

This is an important show. If you think you are having a bad day then go see this show. Issues of race and class and family and friendship all in one show. It makes you look into your life and notice that things aren't so bad. It is rare to find two actors that connect and work hard at not working too hard. Theatre is about moments. We go to the theatre to see moments. And this production has many more than most shows. Go see it.... full review

Amazing acting but the play needed a bit of tweaking. I wish there was another category between amazing and pretty good.... full review
