Show-Score Member Reviews (19)
See it if you appreciate energetic, youthful casts and vignettes examining relationships generally and how each relationship informs future ones.
Don't see it if you prefer one shorter, linear plot, elaborate sets/costumes/music, or no music, or intellectual, complex philosophical or historical theme.
See it if You enjoy short scenes on a common theme. Some of the writing was excellent while other segments were just ok. Most of the actors were good
Don't see it if You need consistency and do not like a variety of writing/acting styles
See it if You are interested in seeing short plays joined by a common theme. You like small, intimate productions that feel like labors of love.
Don't see it if You want a highly produced, cohesive show. These mini-plays are not related except by theme, which is interpreted differently for each play. Read more
See it if you enjoy seeing short plays; you like quirky shows; you appreciate good writing and acting
Don't see it if you need a lot of action or a suspenseful plot to hold your attention.

“With expectations of talented actors and clever writing, it did not disappoint…What I found most wonderful throughout the evening was that, despite the varying interpretations and the extremely diverse writing and directing styles, the production as a whole feels like a cohesive unit...The ideas and talent range here, but all in all, the night is a home run...Corny humor, profound ideas, beautiful singing, hysterical plots, and quality direction all contribute to an oasis of happiness."

“How spurned lovers rebound from ill-fated affairs was the theme this year, one handled deftly by some of the writers involved and used as a loose pretext, or downright ignored, by some others. It was hard to see any connection to the evening’s theme in the cryptic ‘Robert and Lucy’…'Antares Returning' is both improbable and clichéd…‘All is Bright’ concluded the series and offered the most nuanced material…It is funny, absurd, sorrowful and touching.”
