What I liked

Each actor had wonderful stand-out performances that shown through the entire piece. Verity Van Dams Valdez moved effortlessly through a multitude of well developed characters that added ferocity and light to the piece itself. Austin Valdez’s commitment and unabashed character as the enigmatic TV host fit perfectly, with wonderful character levels throughout. Jim Nieb’s performance was strong and grounded, with the audience feeding into his quick witted responses and banter back and forth. Super enjoyable to watch. Alef Orixa is hilarious and a very convincing bodyguard. An enjoyable cast to watch overall.

What I didn't like

Nothing!

My overall impression

Captive Audience is a hilarious, witty, poignant and interactive on-your-toes adventure that leaves you wanting more. Such a fun experience and fantastic show!
