My overall impression

On a positive note, Laura Sperrazza has a helluva voice and didn’t hold back in her performance. I’d love to see her in something else. Jimmy Swan, did a fine job as well, when his microphone worked. This show was all over the map. If the show had just focussed on a parody of The Exorcism, the show might have been more tolerable, but as it stood, the audience sees three unfinished thoughts in one play. It’s too long, the direction is not so much tongue-in-cheek as it is finger-up-the-audience’s-ass. Maybe critical editing would have remedied the 4 endings, the unexplained relationship jumps, and the unearned crassness. This kind of sloppy theater is why people are afraid to go to live theater in LA.
