Event summary prepared by the Goldstar Editorial Team.
Total enjoyment. Wish I could have heard more. Great setting.
I thought the play and the performance were pretty good, but it fell a little short of outstanding for me. Well worth seeing, but not something that I would twist my friend's arms to go see. What I did think was outstanding was the "Piano Man." He was totally believable in his limited role and I enjoyed both his acting and his fine playing.
