It really was an extraordinary evening of theater ! And to think it was performed by students ! All the more fantastic ! It was a fast-paced, thoughtful, insightful and 'measured' re-enactment of the events up to and including the assassinations and trial.Written on Feb 24 2012
The acting, requiring a number of actors to assume different roles, was really 'top-notch' and fully evoked each character's nuances and personalities.
And, on a virtual 'shoestring', the production was imaginative and exciting.
Truly a night at the theater NOT to be missed !

This was a wonderful performance, the acting, the staging, the dramatic management was unbelieveable. My era, from California, it had particular significance. The acting was so vivid, when Dan White reached to shake my hand, I wanted to slap his face!!! (had to remember he was an actor!)Written on Feb 22 2012
My only criticism was that the lighting was often in my eyes (I was in the front row of audience) so I could not see what was happening, and it was very irritating. Also, sometimes it was difficult to see actors who were behind other actors. Maybe I should have been in the stage seats?
The diatribes of Dan White and the Defense Lawyer (both of whom were amazing actors!!!) were a bit long or repetitive. (IMHO)
Thank you for this great performance and thanks to Goldstar for making this possible for me to see.

Very interesting and well done. The staging was amazing and the actors did well with their characters. Not an easy play to do convincingly.Written on Feb 21 2012

Description
Emily Mann, playwright
Elaine Vaan Hogue, director
A brilliant portrayal of the Dan White trial after the 1978 assassinations of Mayor George Moscone and gay city supervisor Harvey Milk of San Francisco. Renowned playwright Mann tells the story in a provocative and multilayered way, posing as many questions as answers about a tragic chapter in the city’s transition to its current political and social climate.
