On Sunday, June 30th, I saw, Saving Cain and the message was clear. It tackled Trump, LBGT, drugs and religion. A devoted single Christian mom who doesn’t attend church but listens to Bible sermons at home from her radio. She is uneducated, a waitress and lives in a small town. A man comes into her life.
Overall, excellent acting and the message was clear.

400 + shows at the Fringe here’s the reason to go see this production- the brilliant performance of it lead actress Leah Verrill Heinz! Wow! We hate her character, then like her, then think she is silly and in the end we empathize recognizing in this crazy world there is no harder job than being a mom. Brilliant work....

A great script brought to life by incredibly talented performers digging into difficult and painfully honest moments. Leah Heitz is fantastic as always, Jim Martyka delivers as a lovable and sympathetic man trying to naviagte a tricky situation, and and Lenny Hernandez navigates an incredibly difficult range with skill and sensitivity....

This show contains multitudes. It is at once a reflection of our socio-political history, a spiritual quest, an expression of personal pain, and an example of quietly epic, confident storytelling. The direction is precise, bold, and respectful of the actors' considerable talents. Most of all, though, the show is entertaining. It moves with an assured pace, and leaves you thinking about the experience afterwards....

Overall it was a lot better than I expected. This has a religious theme to it. In some ways it criticizes religion and in other ways it doesn't. And it really covers a variety of topics. Liberal vs. Conservative. Straight and gay. Addiction too. Plenty of things to go around. It really has some twists and turns that just keeps you going, "Wait? WTF?"
I really liked this show and would recommend it to someone who wants to see something different. Some pretty intense topics with some humor thrown in. And it is all done in about 90 minutes....

SAVING CAIN is a well written production with a quite unusual ending. I am a secular humanist and I almost walked away after 15 minutes watching the show because I can't stand religious zealots but I'm glad I stayed. The ending with the son reminded me of the movie TASTE OF CHERRY by Abbas Kiarostami. Thank you all for a fun 1 1/2 hours in the theater! ...
