See it if you're interested in Native Americans' role in the World trade Center construction & 9/11 Cleanup, and the problems they had to deal with
Don't see it if you're already familiar with the Native Americans' struggle outside their reservation & their part in World Trade Cntr work
See it if You're interested in the role played by Native Americans in the 9/11 cleanup. Slow first act &clunky writing is somewhat redeemed by 2nd act
Don't see it if You don't support community theatre or aren't interested in the story. Good effort overall.
See it if A strange mix of various plot lines tries to be relevant at the end Pretty much an I told you so on things you already know
Don't see it if You’re expecting great writing or acting this was pretty much so so and the material I think everyone knows already
See it if you know nothing about the Native American "Skywalkers" and would like to learn something.
Don't see it if you want a "show" and not a "tell".
See it if You are interested in American Indian culture and how it intersects with mainstream society, you want to support a niche company & new work
Don't see it if You need a fully polished play (this production lacks strong writing and direction)
See it if You are open-minded and willing to be educated about another kind of discrimination but in return shows kindness and patriotism.
Don't see it if You aren’t the least bit interested in Native American issues and don’t want to hear their story.
See it if you want to support Native American projects. Wish there were more about union racism experienced; and the beamwalker efforts during 9/11.
Don't see it if you have no interest in supporting Native American works. You want to see a well-edited play.
See it if you want to expose a serious, overlooked issue (the key role of native-American "ironwalkers" in building the WTC) to the public conscience.
Don't see it if you are impatient with nonprofessional productions where the points being made get lost in muddled writing and unsubtle acting. Read more
