The theater is wonderful. The set was very well done. But the play was disappointing--too predictable--and it never made you laugh, cry, or feel a twinge of suspense. Some of the acting was excellent but at the end you just felt sort of let down.

The actress who played the old lady was superb! The play had some good seasoned actors, it was ashame that the story line was not better developed. The plot was not interesting and was predictable therefore the ending was anticlimactic.

The play was not what I expected; still I enjoyed it & my guest enjoyed it as well. Glad that we went.
