What I liked

The play had the good storyline; the woes of a novice breaking into the literary world of great writers and thinkers. To accompany the interesting plot was an adept cast that made the story come to life. Loved it!

The cast nailed a few particularly skilled scenes at the round table when the eclectic minds were exchanging jabs; lots of quick wit and well-timed humor. As a bonus, there was a surprise at the end (or two if you count the kiss!).

The costumes and set design were very well done to make the play 1920’s credible. Must also mention the piano man, Richard E. Harris, who did a great job on the ivories between scenes.

What I didn't like

Everything can always be improved upon, but I’ll leave that category to the real critics. I enjoyed the whole thing!

My overall impression

Great comedy at a fun venue!

Loved the great performance by lead actor, Christopher Tedrow. His character was very believable and his timing and expressions were spot on. Tedrow’s interactions particularly with supporting actresses Erin Jo Harris and Roz Stanley had a very natural flow, which was easy to follow, witty and enjoyable.
