What I liked

I admit there are many things I liked about the show. I and the rest of the audience, were promised to interact within the play & truly felt immersive. Like how a community should be.

One particular scene that I’ve thought about was the last scene with Sunny & Jade. Where Sunny apologized for berating Jade in a scene prior to this. I don’t know how many folks would think of this, but I greatly appreciate seeing the apology unfold, mainly to experience a genuine apology where nothing gets downplayed or swept under the rug. Personally, I think it can be very possible to write a poor apology. And this play ended up avoiding that with the right execution it used. I strongly commend that.

The play’s story in general is pretty bold. And I think it’ll be appreciated by the folks who watched it for years to come.

What I didn't like

I’m not sure. Only issue I can name was just how it was really hot but I don’t think I should really call it a flaw on the play or something.

My overall impression

My impression with the play was that it was compelling, nuanced & taken with a great deal of care & sincerity. With a brilliant cast that gave life to the characters.
