Good fun and moved a good pace. The acting was good for the most part...found the husband to be a bit overdone.

This show simply didn't click with me. The theme (gay marriage making its first appearance years ago) seemed dated, and some of the actors (particularly the maid and the daughter) were more annoying than funny. (Can't anyone write a gay character who isn't a nellie dress designer?) The second half is slightly better than the first, but I still wouldn't recommend this show.

A very good theatrical evening. Acting was fantastic,as were the sets. This production has set a style of class and professionalism. As with most plays currently no matter how great the playwright,there are flaws.
Great opening act, it worked. The second act was a bit thin. Was this a farce, comedy, political drama? All great topics and styles,make a choice of two. Definitely a feather in the hat for New Conservatory Theater Center. Thank you for producing and directing this play.
