BITTER
Despite the accomplishments and lengthy resumés of the playwright, director and cast, the play’s characters, relationships and scenarios just don’t sing, leaving the audience with a cocktail of ideas and images that remains beyond recognition.

SWEET
Director Larissa Kokernot has assembled an exemplary cast and mounted a production that is disturbing, perplexing, and often funny.

SWEET
FUBAR was directed by Larissa Kokernot and written by Karl Gajdusek, a local playwright who also took the photographs which periodically adorn the set. Gary Smoot’s set design exhibits some interesting choices (a doorway that almost nobody uses) and subtly blends multimedia into the production. The lighting by Michael Mahlum reflects the changing moods of the play and adds to the ambience.
