hummingbirds are not machines

Review by QUA’DEER NA’JAHLEE

What I liked

The chemistry between Dr. Gideon and Hayes. You two fell into your character.

What I didn't like

The lighting wasn’t the strongest. The starting cue never changed, which didn’t bring me into the play. Each scene transition took me out of the story with the lighting. The performance wasn’t there yet in my opinion for some of the cast. The rushing through lines and not letting things hit. The actions and direction of the actors seemed to not fit to understand the story. It seemed scattered and moved like that was told rather than found. I can see the potential of the production. But I can see it is not ready yet.

My overall impression

The nostalgia of walking through the wardrobe room/costume shop into the cameo theater. I knew I was in for a college production. The power house actors who played Hayes and Dr.Gideon stole the show. Unveiling who the monster is inside. Murder mystery thriller at its finest.
