Members Who Went Said:
It was a preview performance and there are things that need to be polished before the run starts, but the play itself was fun. I was afraid near the end it was going to degenerate into cartoon-style violence, but it didn't go quite that far. The acting wasn't bad, and I did laugh out loud throughout. An enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours.
Anonymous Member just alot of fun.
Robert M. Very enjoyable evening, as always, at the New Conservatory. Just a silly bit of fluff, but a nice distraction. Amusing little "local" references throughout. |
