What I liked
As the D.R.A.M.A. agents decide which plays to shred and which to keep- each actor jumps in an out of multiple roles with flawless perfection. This play was “multiple plays within a play” as it shows the incredible ranges of all the actors. Will Thomas Mcfadden plays the groups leader—steadfast in his purpose to censor narrative literature. Brandon Blum was great as Agent Quaid, the first agent who starts to doubt the mission. Jonathan Brooks plays another hardcore agent of the US Department of D.R.A.M.A, and will not stop until every play of CHARLES L. MEE is fed into the shredder! He also shows his amazing range as he dives into multiple dramatic and comedic roles, switching between multiple accents and character types. Julia Finch cracked me up as Agent Dudak, she was funny, had great timing—and could also switch quickly between roles—this is also one part of the play I enjoyed. Lee Margaret Hanson played the new agent, a quirky, over-eager employee who just wants to do right—She is also the catalyst for a great twist! Highly recommended!

My overall impression
Will Thomas Mcfadden does an incredible job with this production, I want to spread the gospel and tell as many people as I can about this show. I was immediately taken by the opening number—as the D.R.A.M.A. agents state their task of censoring the plays of American Playwright CHARLES L. MEE. The dialogue, acting, direction and choeography kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Not only was the pkay suspensful, but I was laughing and gigling until the end. This play not only pokes fun at high brow theater, it’s the perfect example of it!
