    Although Alexa receives the most attention with this play (and Ms. Davidson IS divine) the real power comes with the self exploration the audience will undergo long after enjoying the event, especially those that have creative inklings. Fame has become the ruling fetish in modern society and Evan Wyler (played spot-on by Cole Smith) feels first hand what the hunger for fame can do to one's soul. Evan and Michael (Kevin Copps is tremendous in this role enjoying some of the best lines regarding truth in art) are the true stars in this presentation as they both struggle with how to eat and pay rent yet be true to their artistic vision. The entire cast is strong and although the setting is sparse the cubes work well in the confined yet comfortable theater. Hats off to Dragon Productions for producing this fine play. If you're ready to take the journey, this fine collection of actors will give you plenty of food for thought that will last well after the "curtain" goes down! Collapse
