*gets distracted* What kind of backround is that in Adam's picture? And why is he looking at the camera as though he's contemplating ways to eat the photographer?
Someone said it was something about having to watch his kids. I just had the message passed on -- so, by the time it got to me, it may have morphed quite a bit.
It was wonderful. The cast was so talented and seemed to work really well together as an ensemble. Other than Taye, I hadn't known any of them but my friend was really excited about the captain who she recognized from Six Feet Under. I especially loved Peterson and CJ (don't remember actors' names at the moment). Taye Diggs obviously did a great job. He has a real presence that is commanding but also friendly and not too overbearing. Probably because of your comment, I was very conscience of the lighting, which was very impressive. They pulled off the flashback within the flashback very smoothly. The play itself was perfect for the day. It was intriguing and intelligent and definately left you with what to think about and about serious issues. However, it was also self-contained in that you left with an understanding of what happened and how it happened. That was nice for the day because it made the transition from play back to flea market easier - I didn't feel the need to figure out what I just saw and not think about other things. I was able to wait for the train ride home as opposed to other plays where you don't want to do anything until you discuss them.
Afterwards, someone told us that Taye wasn't coming out in between the two shows so we didn't get to meet him but it was great seeing him on stage. It was already such a packed day that I wasn't too disappointed.
