Set at the dawn of the Great Recession, this vaudevillian romp asks the question, "Does humanity have an expiration date?" While six hungry urbanites scramble for sustenance and cook up schemes for love and success, the beasts of agribusiness close in bringing of corruption and consumption. This provocative play looks at American enterprise and ingenuity at the beginning of the Obama age and wonders if there really is a viable alternative to capitalism. Sarah Marshall stars as the anthropomorphic "Big Hog," the ultimate capitalist underdog, along with Danny Escobar, Naomi Jacobson and an award-winning Washington cast. Learn More

'Henry V' runs a full 2:50 with one 15 min intermission [snacks sold & some guests brought their own]. Considering the small space, the lighting/sound/costumes are very effective and lend atmospheric substance to a production with minimalist sets.Written on Dec 12 2008
The acting was good and I was drawn into the familiar plot quite easily.
The theatre was very easy to find and is in a strip mall with ample free parking. The marquee above the entrance is well lit and easy to see from a distance. You will enter through, how shall i put it?...an adult themed retail shop [fun/campy] and can access will call with the cashier behind the counter. Once your hand is stamped you proceed down a short hallway into the actual 99 seat/8 row theatre and select your own comfortably padded seat w/cup holder.

A hard-working and talented cast presented this play with strong feeling. Even I who knows next to nothing about Shakespeare enjoyed the experience. My hearing is a little impaired, but I sat in the middle of the front row where I heard everything. I didn't understand everything, though, on account of the theatrical delivery. People more knowledgeable about Shakespeare would have understood the presentation better than I did.Written on Dec 17 2008
I enjoyed the play enough to recommend it to two good friends.

Description
"Straight up - it is time to remember honor and glory," explains John Beane. "We are presenting this, the most heroic of the histories, as a reminder of potential. We have spent the last season exploring the underbelly, rolling in the dirt, the sexual, the beautiful - it is time to remember where we come from. The quest for the divine. And the idea of victory in even the most impossible circumstances..."
