What I liked

Every player in this show is bang on with their lines, comedic timing and blocking. Everything was extremely well rehearsed and the performances are just phenomenal. The lighting design was incredibly effective for the horror theme.

What I didn't like

Who knew it was so hard to get rid of a body? There were a lot of parts where I wished they’d just gotten on to the very action they were spending minutes talking about. As much as I liked the dialogue, and it cannot be understated how sharp the dialogue is, there is a lot of fat that could be trimmed from this pig farm.

My overall impression

An extremely well written and acted wild ride, mixing horror themes with philosophical arguments and Christian schoolgirls bent on spreading the word of Jesus and getting rid of a body. Oh, and there’s a Spanish test they still need to study for tomorrow morning. The dialogue is quick and hilarious as the girls blithely argue bible vernacular while jumping from one danger to another. This was a TON of fun. And Pastor Ron would know.
