Poignant and touching, especially to those of us who grew up in and came out to Southern Baptist families. This was a well acted production.

Small theaters add so much to any play and the Zephyr in LA was just the size to make the play personal and fun. It was as if we were part of the performance.

Performers were very talented. Very funny. Loved you all. As did my teen daughter. But, do not take your born again's to this show! Booked on the fly and had no idea what Change was about. Please rename it.
One comment, you should do slaps more convincingly. The one I saw was too gay!

A perfect production! Tears and laughter combined in this story. Great acting. The setting was perfect for this show too. We felt as if we were part of the play.
We are going again.

Fantastic on every level. Incredible acting; great cast; great writing; funny, witty, emotional...a great experience on all levels. One of the best in a long time.

Saw it twice! Loved it! Very entertaining, on many levels. There were laughs and tears. Truly a delight. The characters were fantastic, the actors who played those roles were a perfect fit. I was hoping to see the same actors my second time only because i could not imagine any one else filling in and fitting those roles any better. I hope it comes back. I will definitely see it again and again. Both nights I sat in the front row. Thank you! One of the best plays all year!!

"Caught" is a very professional, well acted, generally well scripted and funny play. The play should have been edited a bit (it was too long and there were definitely parts that could have easily been removed - such as the numerous and highly repetitive sermon excerpts from the bible belt preacher character). It would would have also benefited from less stereotypical characters and a less predictable storyline. But overall quite good and worth checking out.

2nd time, brought family. We all enjoyed. Laughed and cried. Was intense. Actors were all strong.

Caught is a smart play which is beautifully acted & directed. I've seen it twice & recommended it to anyone who will listen. GO see this show before it closes.

Excellent, enjoyable evening. Act 1 was top-notch. Act 2 was a bit heavy-handed or "preachy".

Wonderful play. Wonderful story line, great acting, wonderful stage, intimate theater, good drama interspersed with good comedy. Totally worth it.

It was really good! From the acting to the set. They could've turned the air up a bit because it got really warm.

We loved this event: the play was current, fun, seriously thoughtful, and acted beautifully. Each member of the ensemble was spot-on. Saw it twice actually to spread the news that the Zephyr Theater is a great venue and the play itself was well done.

Love the story. Acted well. Directed well. Level of intimacy perfect. Theatre hot.

This was great. A must see. Do not miss this. You will be entertained, you will laugh, you will not forget the performance!!

The play was excellent--great script and outstanding cast. Definitely see it--really enjoyed this terrific play!

Wonderful play. It never lags; constantly engaging. The characters are so enjoyable you wish it wouldn't end, and the performances are absolutely first-rate.

We really enjoyed this event. The acting was great and the content was very relevant. It was funny, but mostly very touching!

Great play. Well performed with drama and humor. This is a story that needs to be told. See it soon because it is in its last weeks!

The theater itself is very cozy, with seats only 3 rows deep means you'll be close to the stage no matter where you are sitting. The play itself is a gem. The theme is a surprise to me but the non-traditional theme actually made the play that much special. Every actors brought their A game to the play. Audiences were genuinely laughing at the jokes and feeling sad for the characters as the story progress along. Every character is has its lovable aspect that made them human and believable. I have never watched a play made me smile as much as this one. Totally recommended for theater goers. First rate lighting, set design, casting, acting, and script. This one has the full package of a great play in an intimate setting. Did I mention this one is funny?

Well done. The play itself is a familiar theme at this point. But Caught is extremely well executed. The acting was fine with the parts of Doreen, Crystal, and Splenda especially notable. The actor that played Doreen was terrific.

Engaging story with interesting characters!

Great actors. Nice set. A little predictable. Overall, an enjoyable experience.

The acting was excellent and the set was very well done. Since my husband and I were the oldest people in the crowd, we were a bit worried that we would feel differently about the play but I believe we responded just like the young people, laughing and almost crying just like everyone else. We throughly enjoy it from beginning to end. We parked a block away and enjoyed the walk on a warm night and the free parking.

walking in with no expectation was the best thing we did! We were so moved by the writing, storyline and characters. This is a MUST SEE! It a story about love, marriage, family and the changing times. Go See This and tell you friends!

Great scrip and wonderful acting!

This was thoroughly entertaining. Lots of laughs, some tears. The whole cast was great with particularly tremendous performances by Micah McCain and Amanda Kaschak. Highly recommended!

This is a great play that everyone should see. The direction by Nick Degruccio was also something to be praised.

Very well written with alot of insight and sensitivity. magnificent performances. Great theater experience.

Great entertainment. Being from the south, I know those emotions and the thin ideological shell that separate family members all too often. Once the shell is cracked, all the emotions pour out and you get down to the real stuff. Deborah Puette as Darlene will take you through that emotional ringer. Thank you for that.

The acting was top notch and I believed every character's emotions. Loved the play.

What a great performance by everyone - very powerful dialog!

Very passionate subject. Discussions were very real and touching! The actors were all very good. We were all impressed. We hope the play goes on to a bigger theater so more people will see it, although we were very happy to see it there at the Zephyr theater.

Moving, FUNNY, Great over all!!

Sister was best thing in show with the rest of the parts a little too convenient and one sided.

Very good show! It kept my attention the whole time and when things got a little intense, there was always a bit of comedic relief which was enjoyable.

A VERY GOOD PRODUCTION, GREAT CAST!!

This cast and production is AWESOME! I would have to say that this is a MUST see...so book your tickets and GO!!!

I really enjoyed the play. It was a nice blend of comedy, drama, politics and "life." I thought the character of Splenda was a bit overbearing but the others were terrific!

Fairly well acted but the best was the sister. A little too convenient in the characters with the sister the only one presenting true things for thought.

A great play with a talented group of actors. yahoo!

excellent

I enjoyed the play a lot and was fascinated by all the actors! They really listen to each other and reacted to what was going on in a scene, rather than just 'playing' the character and saying their lines. I highly recommend this play to watch!!

Totally enjoyed this show!!! The cast was amazing!

Real good/interesting story line. Too polarized for my tastes, though. I think they could have told the same story and expressed the plight of the couple in a less polarized way. All in all enjoyed it and did like the concept, the characters and the message. The two female roles were great.

Great acting, really, for a tiny theater, intimate venue... story line was predictable, but the play was entertaining... laughed, cried... it had it all.

"Caught" is a great study of family dynamics - gay and straight. The cast is terrific, and the play takes you from tears to laughter and back within seconds. Our whole party would highly recommend it.

overall ok, a bit overacted in parts. somelines ran flat not funny. glad i paid the discounted price :)

No one wrote this was a very gay presentation, NOT for a family of young children. We had to leave. Perhaps you should let members aware of this even though it may be politically sensitive.

This show is EXCELLENT. Don't be deceived by the simple plot---the excellent acting, realistic dialogue, and intimate venue all create a transformative experience. I enjoyed every minute of the play.

Very entertaining, it must watch for anyone who has gay friends and/or families. You'll understand their side.

I've been to a couple of Nick DeGruccio-directed plays before and I must say that his plays never disappoint. Caught is no different. At its core, the play is about family and everyone should be able to relate to that. Every single member of the cast was brilliant. (Troy's understudy was performing for the show I attended.) The actress playing Krystal shines in this production, but really, everyone did such a fantastic job. I saw on the play's website that it was extended again for about another month. Good for them! I might even be back for a second show. And the staff at the theatre was very friendly.

Actors were wonderful. Very talented. The venue was intimate, without a bad seat in the house. The staff were friendly and polite. Lots of good restaurants nearby and easy parking. I would definitely recommend the play and the playhouse.

Hilarious. Poignant. You will laugh a lot and cry a little. Great set. Quality acting. Good story. Go see it.

I would have enjoyed the play more if it had had the actors which were portrayed in your on-line ad.

I can see why this play has been running for so many months and keeps getting extended. It is simply an excellent production - very well written, superbly acted, great messages. I highly recommmend this wonderful evening of theatre!!!

Great show. Funny and touching and the performances and directions were outstanding. Highly recommend.

Great show! Beautiful set, beautiful lighting, the music is perfect, the writing is brilliant and the acting is top notch! Deborah Puette is one of the most powerful actors I've seen on an L.A. stage. Jason Dechert as Kenny is subtle, but amazing. Amanda Kaschak nails it as Krystal. Micah McCain - comic greatness. Richard Jenik is great as the guy we all want to hate. And Will Beinbrink is convincing as Troy. Beautiful play -- definitely a must-see!

I gathered a group of eight friends, two of whom had seen Caught in its first month and wanted to return.

We were all blown-away and stunned by the play but more the performances by most of the actors. Prior reviews correct in laughter then tears - hard pressed to see one dry eye in the house during some parts of the show.....

Outstanding performances by all! Fabulous writing! Just enough humor to make a serious subject extremely enjoyable!

- SUPERB writing
- Thoroughly stirring & thought provoking
- Good balance of humor & drama
- Heartfelt performances by a STELLAR cast
- MAGNIFICENTLY directed
- Sparse, but very TASTEFUL & EFFECTIVE set, lighting & sound design
- ACCOMMODATING & AFFABLE theater staff

- RUN TO THE ZEPHYR!

This show is so fantastic, the actors are super.
I have seen it three times, with various understudies.
All of them did a wonderful job.so much emotion.
I must compliment Nick Degruccio and cast on a job well done.
We will be going again , I am sure..

Caught was a very entertaining play. The cast takes you through a full array of feelings and emotions. I laughed and cried. The cast acting was brillant and superb, I would highly recommend this play to all, a must see.

The play was excellent! Actors were all incredible!

Great play and superb acting by the whole cast. Funny. sentimental and true. One of the best plays I've seen so far.,

This was the BEST and un-expected play I have been to in I do not recall in how long. Am getting a group together before it closes to see it again.

This was the BEST play I have tickets to take a group of friends to see it once again. This play is not to be missed!

I thoroughly enjoyed "Caught." It's well written and superbly acted. Each character is well drawn. You'll experience laugh-out-loud humor as well as tearful moments. And, the story is so relevant for so many today. Go see it - don't let it close without having experienced "Caught."

Excellent writing and excellent acting. A hidden gem. We will be returning.

Powerful performances. The intimate theater setting makes this a wonderful experience. Highly recommend this venue.

Great show and a fun evening. The cast was good especially the actor who played the young daughter,

LOVED it! I laughed, I cried...I highly recommend seeing it. Great acting and timely story. Just make sure to use the restroom before the show. There's no way to sneak out without ruining the feel of the play and holding it in was brutal! Trust me. Oh, Splenda was splendid!!

Caught was incredible. I actually came to the play expecting something of a ‘high school’ caliber play. I had low expectations, to say the least. I wanted to see a gay play and this was on Goldstar. I had not read the reviews so I really didn’t know what to expect. All of the actors were superb. They had their lines down, emotions right. In fact, when there was a tearful moment, they cried. We cried. They tugged at our heartstrings and made us mad about the fundamentals. It brought back memories of places that I had put away in my mind. It made us try to understand the human psyche. I recommend this play to everyone. Bring some Kleenex!

BROADWAY BOUND! BRAVO . . . THE BEST PLAY I'VE SEEN IN YEARS. ACTING BRILLIANT. FIRST RATE. GREAT EVENING! NOT A SLOW MOMENT. GREAT DIALOGUE. A MUST SEE!

Absolutely wonderful script that realistically portrayed the range of emotions and adjustments that many families experience when coming to terms with a family member revealing that he/she is gay/lesbian.

Wonderful acting. So very well done. We loved it. Not only was the script meaningful, but also had so many very funny lines that kept the audience laughing. It was a delightful evening.

I really enjoyed the play. It was well written, the characters were believable and it was well acted. Even the set was quite good for such a small theatre. I am recommending the play to my friends.

Very well thought out play. It avoided stereotypical pitfalls and the script and the acting were top notch. My only criticism would be during the second act sometimes the dialogue would lean toward a little cheesy, but overall, a very entertaining and emotional evening thanks to the intense commitment of the actors.

We totally loved this play! We saw God of Carnage a few weeks back, and although that is also a wonderful comedy, I have to say we enjoyed this more! It is impeccably well cast, and all the actors are superb!

DON'T MISS IT! Excellent, tear-jerking, laughter-inducing production. The actors were outstanding, frankly, I was surprised to see such a high-quality production in such a tiny venue. I left overwhelmed, happy, energized...so much so that I bought three more tickets and am returning with friends!

The actors were all spectacular. The play is terrific -- and loved the script.

great production...we enjoyed it all...the script, the acting, the set, the venue...I have highly recommended it to all!

strong acting and very happy i got to attend.

Great show! Great Cast! See it....Enjoy!

Loved it! Terrific writing, cast, set, venue. What more can I say?

Very good! Nice venue, good audience, great play. A very enjoyable evening. Well acted, and an excellent cast.

We liked it, but it could use some editing. Some characters were too much of a caricature. The bible toting sister, for example, could have been a more rounded character...did she need to carry the bible everywhere (including into the bathtub)? The super-gay minister was good fun but trite and contrived too. If you go with slightly lower expectations about theater, you'll have a good time.

I found this play absolutely entertaining! The play was so well written, funny, heartwarming and enjoyable. The cast did an excellent job and really made the play work. I would recommend this play to everyone, young, old, straight, gay or otherwise. A real treat!

Great play that handled a high conflict situation without being preachy, even though the playwright has his own point of view. The two women were AWEsome the night I attended. They should win awards. The men were less committed and at times drifting in and out of their characters, or giving us an idea of their character instead of inhabiting.

I absolutely loved it. The actors were wonderful; it was smart, funny and touching. It was honest.

Loved it! This show is a must see for everyone! Truly a winner.

Great acting with clear plot - rare these days. Humerous & illustrative of the society's movement towards the acceptance of marriage between ANY two people.

Sincerely,
Arthur Greenberg

The cast is fantastic in this funny, well written play. Definitely a must see!!

Great great great ! I had a blast ! Best show ever ! Go see it !

Great play, excellent performance!

I enjoyed the production very much. The script and the actors are excellent, especially Mackenzie Astin. I can't imagine that the play will change anyone's mind regarding whether gay marriage is OK or not, but it does present one family's way of dealing with the issue in an entertaining way.

This was a beautiful play by David Ray. It was both entertaining and enlightening. I didn't grow up in a religious, strict, conservative Christian environment, but I have many GLBT friends and acquaintances who did. I've heard many stories about the struggles they had to endure while growing up, and--in many cases--still endure because of their families' conservative beliefs. This play takes an intelligent look at not only the GLBT characters' struggle for acceptance, but the perspective of those who oppose equal rights for them--a perspective that, I have to admit, I tend to completely ignore (for the obvious reasons) most of the time. It would be great to see what others who live in Christian, conservative areas of the country and who are homophobic would have to say about this play--they would certainly learn a thing or two by being exposed to material like this or so one hopes. The cast, needless to say, was awesome. I am very happy my friend and I stayed for the Q&A that took place after the Sunday show we attended--that was certainly an unexpected treat. The comments by the cast, producer, playwright, and the three religious leaders who were part of the panel were truly eloquent and insightful.

This was a really sweet play. It was well acted and really enjoyable.

Loved the play! The play has the perfect balance of drama and humor. You will not be disappointed!

My friend and I absolutely loved this play. The cast was outstanding. When I found out that it had been running for 7 months, it was amazing that the cast could show such real emotions after running so long. I understand that some have come and gone, but the cast there right now is great. Loved the small, intimate feeling of the theater and thank you for the previous Goldstar members recommendations.

Parking is a little tricky in the neighborhood. We got there hours earlier, parked two blocks north of Melrose, walked around, shopped, had dinner before the show. Highly recommend.

This play is a must see-we loved it!!

great play love it!
