Must see
Full disclosure: My wife is in the cast. One daughter directed, and another daughter designed costumes. I may be a little biased. Despite having family members involved, I had not read the script or seen any rehearsals. I've been around theater long enough to know that the alternating discouragement and euphoria of cast members are not a reliable guide to the quality of the production. I was blown away. The performance was tight and well acted. I marveled at how, with just a few set pieces, the cast conjured kitchens, meeting halls, a coal truck, and even a remarkable street scene involving two trucks. I plan to see it again.
