This was a wonderful event and a superb idea. The selection of plays was excellent, ranging from the hilarious to the poignant. My only criticism would be the sound. The volume was not loud enough and much of the dialogue was missed in a couple of the plays. The acting was so realistic you didn't even notice they actors were reading.

The New York Production/cast was much better. This one had some highs and lows. Some of the performers were excellent and some just okay. I think body mics might have helped a bit. Bruce Villanch, although a talented and funny man, was miscast. Bryan Batt is handsome and effective. However, the message is important...go see it!
