Delightful, Entertaining, Funny, Must see, Refreshing

See it if You have any interest in religion, racism or social issues. Great writing and well done overall.

Don't see it if You don’t like small stage productions the theatre is an old church you’re only allowed to sit in the first three pews (perfect considering)

Resonant, Relevant, Interesting venue for theater

See it if You like theater in an unusual setting the church added to the nuns conversations Relevant subject still even as it referenced an earlier

Don't see it if Politics , race, religion are not subjects of interest. The seating and acoustics are not good

Absorbing, Intelligent, Intense, Relevant, Thought-provoking

See it if you are concerned with the divisiveness and hostility present in American culture today & want to see theater that evokes these issues

Don't see it if you are looking for a light-hearted story of nuns and religious life or you prefer your theater to be an escape from the challenges of today

Entertaining, Intelligent, Resonant, Thought-provoking

See it if You want to see a well written show with solid performances. Set in a different time, yet the issues raised are just as relevant today.

Don't see it if You are uncomfortable with representation of religion. Or don’t want to see a show staged in a church.

Absorbing, Great writing, Relevant

See it if A show with strong ensemble cast, pretty solid writing, some humor, politically relevant .. a great effort.. appeals to you.

Don't see it if Church has pros and cons. Visibility /sound could have been better. VG acting - main actress needed to slow down, speak up! Read more

Relevant, Thought-provoking, Quirky, Great acting, Absorbing

See it if you want to see a great show that offers a wonderful cast and a well-written, story that is very relevant today.

Don't see it if you are a racist, or if you prefer shows that are in a "real" theater with a "real" stage, and "real" staging. This is as simple as it gets. Read more
