Very fun show...... Unbelievable number of lines for the main actors to have to learn. I hope they're taking it on the road or something---otherwise it's a lot of work for so few performances. The play was maybe a little long, could have been trimmed in spots. Price was definitely right!! I'd request that Goldstar offer more collegiate performances like this.
