        A gorgeous and intimate theatre that boasted all you could want for lighting, set and sound possibilities. Truly a remarkable space. It was very surprising the rest of the show didn't match the caliber of the venue. The script has potential, especially the use of the letters to frame the story. I saw however, two main weaknesses in the story. First, every scene seemed exactly the same length. This created a rhythm that was accentuated by the broken transitions where I half-expected the actors to drop their heads and call "scene." Second, it seemed a little too didactic. Instead of trusting the audience, the show seemed to say "This is my message!" over and over again. Don't get me wrong. I think the script has a lot of potential for a strong show but in the end the direction and acting was disappointing and I was only grateful I bought my ticket for the student price. That $20 I saved bought my dinner to make up for the humdrum entertainment. Will I try SLAC again? probably Collapse
