Actually I give this 3 1/2 stars, but Goldstar doesn't accept that. These six short pieces are entertaining. Not every one may work for you, but as a whole they make for an enjoyable evening. Go and have fun.

Among the six vignettes, the weakest one was the birthday dance rehearsal between Jesus and Judas. The choreography was awkward and the timing was quite off. Scott Hinson's "Nelly" was a terrific dosage of comic relief. His body and facial movements were just precious. There were a couple of heavy but riveting pieces of drama supported by a talented cast, especially Chris Sams' Jim at the beginning and Kyle Pierce's Matt Shepard at the end.
