Halfway to Gethsemane contains powerful performances with the right balance of levity to keep us laughing in between reflection on the status of the world... and if we're past saving. Clearly a labor of love, or fear, or that beautiful, therapeutic balance of both that spurs art like this, Halfway... ignites introspection within its audience members and helps us smile through the tears. Bravo!... full review

The acting is captivating, taking the audience through a range of emotions, from laughter to sadness.
