What I liked

Talented writing, directing and casting. Good performance. Interesting story and great use of stage space.

What I didn't like

I would like more of the backstory to some of the characters to keep them from being generic. Some of my favorite scenes were conversations with characters on stage, for example one of the characters talking about his feelings of being in a fraternity. There were a few scenes like this, but I think more of these would deepen our connection to the multiple characters on stage.

My overall impression

Kudos to the director Chacha Tahng. Great job in staging, lights and sound effects. Imaginative, creative and well written.
I love stories that are mysteries and deal with the supernatural and conspiracies.
I felt the show did a good job in creating suspense and raising interesting questions about life, purpose and destiny. The plot touched on issues of race, identity and fitting in, without being preachy or heavy handed. It left it to the audience to decide the answers to questions raised,
