Clever, Absorbing, Great acting, Great writing, Masterful

See it if Great cast and writing can be found in "Memorare". While the story develops, each character gets a moment without running down a checklist.

Don't see it if The setting looks great on paper but in practice, it fails due to bad acoustics and no real stage. Don't see it during a cold winter night.

Absorbing, Unique subject matter, Great writing, Relevant, Resonant

See it if A look into world not often seen-a convent in NYC in the '60s. Amazingly relevant what w/racism in the USA & carnage in the world; well done

Don't see it if You're looking for a full on staged prod-this is in a church (bring warm clothes!); you don't want to see an all female cast; need a comedy~

Absorbing, Clever, Relevant, Funny, Great acting

See it if the prospect of seeing issues of belief, doubt, intolerance, love & forgiveness embodied in a series of conflicts intrigues you.

Don't see it if you are too irreligious to suspend your intolerance for religion for two hours & sit in a church -- for a play about religion. Read more

Enchanting, Great acting, Relevant

See it if you are open to a performance in a church that concerns the church. Although situated in 1964, the same racial issues persist today.

Don't see it if you're expecting lavish staging. The writing is strong as is the acting.
