The Other Day

See it if Potent, muscular performaces by leads & inventive staging keep Williams' strong recovery drama from having a (melodramatic) relapse

Don't see it if Drama looses steam after Santo's (an excellent Issack) exit but themes of addiction & obsession (both substance & emotional) still strong

See it if Guy burns thru 13th step relationship with addict partner, hits bottom & finds hope in the end. Parallel subplot with troubled half-sister.

Don't see it if You dislike drawing on 12-step program themes, or quick-cut scene jumps like a TV script.

See it if Finally an amazing play with superb acting. The chemistry between the 2 main characters was very convincing, I could watch it for hours.

Don't see it if Not interested watching in 2 gay guys (one misogynist and shallow and the other insecure but deep) getting together.

Also Don't let it discourage you that this play is located in a Community center. It's a professional play with a great plot and amazing acting. I have seen mediocre plays in prime theaters and left during intermission. This is not the case. I am not gay but very much could relate to the relationship portrayed. I wish to see more plays like this.
Going to follow here two actors- Sandro Isaack and David Dean Bottrelli, both very charismatic, and I agree-both had an outstanding performance.... Read more Read less

See it if The Other Day left me breathless. Such a powerful and relevant story much needed in today's theater. Astounding writing and acting!

Don't see it if No reason not to see this.

See it if I am not a gay man, but I found myself interested and invested in the show's main couple..

Don't see it if You're not comfortable with men being physical with one another

Also I also really liked the supporting characters, who were more than just sidekicks, and that the show kept surprising me. I disagree that it lost steam, I was with the journey throughout--a testament to the writing, directing and acting.... Read more Read less

See it if This is a really engrossing, funny and honest look at relationships. I was really moved by all of the characters and the writing.

Don't see it if You're a fan of carbon-copy or cliched stories.

See it if you'd like a subtle but interesting look at romance, addiction, love, loss and the relationships that change us.

Don't see it if you are looking for tv drama and extreme characters, or if you have a problem with people in underwear.

Also I thought the writing, acting and staging were all very good.

Even if you can't see yourself in these characters you will recognize the conflicts and/or know people just like them.

Our most difficult relationships change us and make us more honest, especially with ourselves.

The theater seating is elevated with a good view from everywhere. The air conditioner was blasting so bring a sweater if you tend to get cold.... Read more Read less
