Loose Ends

See it if Nice to reflect upon the 70's. Small stage does nice job with clever usage of materials for the set. T. Schreiber himself directs.

Don't see it if do not want to see some up and coming actors from the various classes at the studio.

See it if want to get a look into the 1970's

Don't see it if a 2:45 show scares you. BEWARE, this started at 8PM I didn't get out of the theater until 11PM. Show has it listed at 2hrs but its not.

Also The best way I can describe this play is that if someone invited you to their house but they didn't clean it before you got there. This is very very messy and needs to be cleaned up. I am not sure what is under the mess but even if it was cleaned up I am not sure there is a good play there. There is nothing good about this. At best most things are average but the writing is really bad. There are 11 characters and at least half of them can be cut. None of the acting is great so at least the acting is balanced in an average way. Way too many scene changes. Every time they changed scenes they played a song from that year of the 1970's and all the songs could have been better. What bothered me the most is I hated the main male character. I don't think any of the characters were supposed to be "good" loveable characters but I hated this main character and felt nothing and I mean nothing for him as the play ended.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if You aren't content to follow a long story from youth to adulthood with many characters.

Don't see it if You are not interested in a love story. you don't want to see a fun play. You don't like anything 70's

Also The performers did a good job with this performance. This was a very fun play until the wife made a decision for both of them and it made things between the couple go south. I enjoyed the older gentleman that came by with the Champagne. He was hilarious. He was delightful. I liked him. I am sorry that I don't remember his name but his performance was memorable.... Read more Read less

See it if you lived through the 70s and are nostalgic for the transition from flower child to materialistic adult; like any relationship story

Don't see it if you lived through the 70s and do NOT care to relive that era; don't like meagerly drawn protagonists & too many unnecessary characters

Also T. Schreiber Studios generally puts on worthy productions & that's why I went to this without knowing anything about the play.This show is w-a-a-y-y too long and really needs serious editing;at least 4 of the characters could be cut completely to tighten up the story & then MAYBE there would be a story there....... Read more Read less

Also Although the play took place during the '70s, change the clothes and styles and t could just as well taken place during any other decade as well.... Read more Read less

See it if Great acting, relationship oriented plays are your thing. The actors were really awesome and "got into" their roles.
