Quirky, Edgy, Ambitious

See it if Unique piece that took a minute to fully understand. The staging was great.

Don't see it if You had a few weak actors that missed it. The director should have caught this in casting. Unfortunate b/c there were a few gems in the play

A good cast, Disjointed, Unfocused

See it if into committed actors playing apocalypse, talking aimlessly about "a war", while God performs stand-up from above. God was great.

Don't see it if well... there are very effective moments, but much here, such as over-hammering that war-protest song, comes-off pretentious. Read more

Banal, Cliched, Slow, Excruciating, Disappointing

See it if someone pays you to go.

Don't see it if you don’t like pointless abstract riffing on war, followed by more pointless abstract riffing on war, with a little riffing on God thrown in Read more

"With exceptional design elements in place, including shadowy lighting, costumes, and sound design, all evocative of a war zone, the play and its well-acted characters make for a truly memorable experience."

The play moves between the characters' conversations on the nature of life and death in the context of a never-ending war. Unfortunately, the discussions do not lend themselves to understanding the absurdity of war or the futility of conflict. The actors work hard at making sense of the script, but they do not achieve that end except for Ditty.

"Our dependency on war tells us how we humans believe in a God who stands by us when we conquer, which is why 'GAS' is so important. Unfortunately, because it only tells and shows and doesn’t feel and create depth, its important message is watered down to a trickle."
