The performances were good. However, the play was described as a dark comedy. Why? I love dark comedy and there was none here. It's a slow play and as the room got warmer and warmer, I found my thoughs wondering away from the play. The play itself never grabbed me or intersted me. The actors were good however.Written on Apr 30 2009

I found this play both good and disappointing. The three actors were fantastic. So professional and wonderful. Too bad their talents were not used to better advantage. This play was disappointing for me because,even though it had a gay theme, it is not what I call a gay play. And that is what I came a long distance to see. As a gay man, I would like to see plays that really reflect our interests. In the past you presented some great plays that appealed to the male audiences.For years I was a season subscriber, but have not been for a long time because you do plays like this one. Please return to the kind of plays you used to do and fill up your theaters again!!!Written on Apr 27 2009

Paul Rodrigues did a fabulous job acting in the part of Ottis. His voice, his mannerisms, his body language and facial expressions reflect the attitude of a hustler. Background music of hymms was great considering the theme.Written on Apr 27 2009
