Funny, Meaningful, Truthful
This fun show pokes fun at issues of aging and retiring, and the abusive politics of our current “dear leader.” If you want funny, political, insightful, meaningful theater this is not to be missed.

History Repeats Itself
This writer/producer team usually bring to the stage historical-based dramas that I enjoy, and they have done that again this year. With a good cast and a moving script. A few lines were a bit slow at the first show which I saw. But even that did not distract from the message of how to respond when governments oppress and when lives, reputations, and futures are at stake. Although the drama is set during the cold war, it could be easily translated for our own time.

Enlightening and Engaging
I love theater when I learn something. And at this show I learned something about the woman painter and the women surrounding her and the progressive movement of which they were a part. I will be going on to read and learn more - realizing how few women artists of the past I really do know anything about, and how their work and ideas were suppressed. And this story is told by an all female cast in an engaging presentation that keeps the viewer on the edge of their seat to follow and learn.

Impactful and Important
This excellent story is well told and quite meaningful. It is impactful because it touches the situation of so many lives (in the story and in the audience and beyond) and it is important to be told because of that broad impact. As a person of the progressive inclusive Christian faith I am grateful for the presentation. Not to be missed.

Humorous and insightful
Enjoyed his personal stories of experiencing US culture as an immigrant. A good reminder of the importance of intercultural relationships and communication. All told in meaningful and humorous way.
