What I liked

The set and costume design are gorgeous. I got to see the Church Cast perform and they were stunning.

What I didn't like

I’d like to see this play become a staple of college drama classes nationwide and I think one day we will.

My overall impression

Beautiful and subversive. The kicker is that this show ends up being not only about being young and taken advantage of, but is really about the way its female protagonist forms attachment and processes not only the central, traumatic attachment but all of her trauma through her complicated but steadfast faith. Glossolalia is a stunningly written play that resolves in the most satisfying climax I’ve seen onstage in LA.
