Theatre Review by Megan


This is the new play at the Strauss Theatre that goes through the weekend of May 13-16 and May 20-23.

There have been lots of opinions on this play, but that's just it...opinions. Some think it's great and some are appalled and offended by it. So, I thought I'd share my thoughts.

This production, directed by Jon Baccarini, is a fantastic work of art. Sure it may be a little risqué for some parts, but the humor makes up for it all. It is no different from what is on TV these days. Actually, it may be a little better than what's on TV. It breaks down all types of relationships as to why men and women think and act differently. The cast includes Elizabeth Bennett, Wendy Ryland, Steve Barton, and Charles Prigden.

When the script was given out, Jon took it and made it more subtle. It's not an easy play to present, especially in this area, but I think Jon and the cast did a fantastic job. Who cares if the old people don't like it. They don't like the modernization of things anyway. Jon did his best with what he was given and it turned out to be one of my favorite shows. You will always have those that hate it and those that love it and not everyone will always be happy.

So, Congratulations Jon on another great show!! Everyone should go see it if you get the chance. And words of advice...stick through the second half....it gets better.
