We saw a wonderful play, part of the Fringe Festival at the Elephant Stages last evening. There are a few more performances, and I highly recommend it. Not only is the play well crafted to hold your attention throughout, but the cast is top notch...one if the finest ensemble performances I've seen in town! Kudos to writer, producer, director Kimba Henderson! ... full review
