LaBute New Theater Festival 2019

See it if ..you like intelligent thought-provoking "one-person" (one was two people) performances - thoughtful but little staging.

Don't see it if Straight monologues bore you and you need more

Also All pieces evoked interesting subjects and thought provoking issues, but very "straight" drama, little action or staging (except for 2-person piece) but others are 1-person monologues - interesting, but very simple.... Read more Read less

See it if You’re looking for a Riveting, intelligent set of three short plays. Excellent acting with a script to match. Engaging and relevant.

Don't see it if You’re looking for a light musical.

See it if You are getting paid to sit through everything ever written by LaBute.

Don't see it if You were hoping for peak LaBute. This is not his best work. These seem like writing exercises from a sophomore playwriting workshop

Also I liked "In the Company of Men" but these sketches are not in the same league.... Read more Read less

See it if You are open minded and don't mind being challenged on your ideas.

Don't see it if You're easily offended and shut down when challenged.

See it if You like small cast one-acts and value experiencing a singular point of view in the theatre.

Don't see it if You don’t want to be provoked.

See it if Mr Labute always delivers the goods. He writes compelling stories that are both natural and surreal These were one acts- not like full play

Don't see it if you don't like serious theater

See it if Timely topics Realistic dialogue Monologues Raw subjects

Don't see it if Would be offended by play about Hitler or race or mass murder

See it if You like Labute or are looking for Theatre that isn't going to hold back from making you uncomfortable.

Don't see it if You want an easy story or aren't interested in the human condition. Or if you are easily offended
