My overall impression

ALAP’s Sex, Lies & Social Media is an ambitious mix of five 10-minute plays about the intersection of human life. Mary Steelsmith’s Happy and Gay is the strongest piece (and the first of the bunch), about two women decorating a church for its first gay wedding. The others offer unique insight into the human condition, especially how we allow ourselves to become a little more open and vulnerable (or not). Surprises and twists abound in all the plays. I would have preferred the plays be presented without a “host,” but others may feel differently. Best of luck to everyone involved in this eclectic group of plays!
