Great performances - one would not have guessed that this was only a preview (June 5). Timing was spot on, kudos to the director/writer. Set, lighting, and sound were all well done and the theatre, although small was comfortable with no bad sight lines. An amusing and touching play.
Theatre is located in area with several decent restaurants for after show dining. Great public parking lot ($5) a few steps from the theatre.

This was a cute little play....It was well acted, but as has been stated before a bit cliched.
There were good laughs and it made a lot of jokes at the expense of certain organized religious practices....
It was a fun afternoon.....in a fun theater.....in a great location for restaurants.

The story was a little predictable and cliched, but the entire cast was so good they made it much more than it should have been.

This play deserves more than a 4 rating - it was so well done. The energy that was displayed here was over the top. All the parts were equally acted out & performed to perfection. This play should stay around for more performances!

The finishing touch was Michael (the K9) - he even came out for his very own audience appreciation at the end as well.
