What I liked

I truly enjoyed how well-rounded the characters were on stage. There were some wonderful moments that filled the space with a compassionate atmosphere. The audience was rooting for certain characters. It’s a very intimate theater, which creates a direct and personal bond with the audience.

On a side note: I loved the music choice for this piece.

What I didn't like

At times speech would go lost due to a lack of volume and a fast pace.

When looking around in the space, I noticed many lights that were not being used, while they could have been. The atmosphere could have been stronger with better lighting.

It’s always amazing to go to the theater and sit in the dark while the actors are on stage. Sadly, the seats in the theater were lit, and I missed the darkness I so much enjoy in the theater.

My overall impression

I enjoyed seeing how the play unfolded, and how religious views were debated. The strong choices of the character were enlightening and pulled me right into the story.
