First, I met up with Charita, Frances and Tim at dinner for some Mexican food. I had some enchiladas and also had some of Frances and Charita's burrito and quesadillas--definitely better than Taco Bell. :) Unfortunately the restaurant didn’t have any A/C, so we sat on the patio. Despite enjoying a couple glasses of Sangria, it was still way too hot—just chewing made us sweat.
The play itself was OK. It was pretty entertaining--a political comedy on the world's current events in the style of a superhero/comic book story. It spoofed and took jabs at mainly Americans and their quest to find 'Weapons of Mass Destruction'. A couple of the actors were really good in their delivery and their comic timing, but others left a little more to be desired. I'm no expert on theater, but some of the other characters just didn't capture my imagination. It was pretty interesting how they combined different types of mediums into their show--live stage, animation and film. The "war propaganda" films were hilarious. However, the play was just too long and it didn't help that it started at 10 PM last night. The 90 min. show definitely could have been condensed into 45-60 mins. Some of the plot lines were unnecessary and other scenes just dragged way too long past the punch line. Anyway, for an amateur production and since the ticket only cost $10, it's still worth checking out.
