"Stampede at the Not OK Corral"

Saw play 10/22. Audience 50% full at beginning of play. MANY of us RAN out at the intermission... that speaks volumes! Old ladies running to their cars. Very uninteresting. The friend I was with was 74 and sees half a dozen plays a year for decades... this was first one she eagerly left at intermission. She said, "meet you in the lobby" and then we both ran out. If one wants to hear a men only cast debate with page numbers, the wisdom of various esoteric religious texts, then "go for it." Collapse

"Excellent Father(s)-Son(s) story"
Review posted by: Elaine from Palo Alto, Oct 14, 2009
Loved it, very emotionally riveting. Less about the friendship between the two boys, more about their relationships with their fathers. We cried.

Everyone on stage seemed to be trying very hard to make it a great show, but the play is just not all that interesting. The constant use of a Narrator who continually takes us out of the drama never allows the audience to really empathize with the characters. It made a great novel, but as a play it just felt heavy handed and mundane. Collapse

"Great, original, must-see show"
Review posted by: Jaded Theatregoer from Sunnyvale, CA, Aug 27, 2009

This thought-provoking show is hilariously funny while probing the serious issue of racism with a fresh approach. It is also fabulously acted, with most of the small cast playing many, many roles, crossing race and gender boundaries. No! Stomping on race and gender boundaries. Go and enjoy this show. Collapse

Funny, sharp, screwball and gorgeous comedy. So well executed in every way. Stellar cast and designers. A feel-good evening of wonderful theatre!

"Fun Farce, fluffy, but pretty to look at."
Review posted by: Susannah from San Jose, CA, Jan 30, 2009
This show is certainly predictable, and not a brain buster but still a nice effort. The set and costuming is almost worth it alone. Clever stuff if you like old fashioned comedy....
