What I liked

I was surprised by much of the story lines and the twists they took. There was an equal blend of laughter and pathos, and they were very well timed.

What I didn't like

There were times when some of the actors seemed like they were focused on film-type performances, rather than bringing the needed size and clarity for the stage. That made it harder to hear or understand in a few sections.

My overall impression

Very strong show. Impressive work by young people. All the characters and stories were very engaging, and I didn’t really expect to be so completely engrossed in a high school story, but we all became very involved with these characters. I highly recommend it.
