Some of the acting, especially in the second half, lost the commitment and intensity seen before intermission. As the world premiere, the play itself seems still in its infant stages as well. While it takes on courageous subjects with a commendable amount openness and honesty, [...]]]></description>

Jeff Rack’s set, some authentic-looking costumes and the mannerisms and demeanor of the large cast takes us back to the mid-1930s, a time fraught with extreme poverty and unrest. This country was still struggling with the [...]]]></description>

James Reynolds&#8217; simple staging is clear and clean, and the young actors own the play&#8217;s many comic moments.
