A few friends and I are driving up for this. Should be quite excellent.

I've hated every production of Our Town I've been exposed to, but I think he'd bring something very different to the role.

My school is doing this show this Fall. I wish I could see his intepretation. I've tried reading the play so many times, but I find it so hard to get through.

I read it in high school, and I will again before the trip. I remember being really intrigued and hoping to see it on stage some day. I can definitely see why so many people dislike the play, and the ways in which it could go wrong, but I trust Raúl to nail it.

I think Our Town is a beautiful play.
Butters, go buy World of Warcraft, install it on your computer, and join the online sensation before we all murder you.

They probably have an Equity waiver for Raul. I think tx can't be more than 15 or 20 bucks, I forget which. I saw First Lady Suite, probably one of the best things I've seen, for 15 bucks due to the waiver.

Great show. But it's not a show for a star.

I have to disagree with you Ljay. I've seen many performers turn the Stage Manager into a star role.

It's supposed to be an ensemble piece though, not a star-driven play though definitely the Stage Manager works as an overseeing figure which lends itself to star-casting. I am with Ljay though.
What a beautiful play this is though, to me it reads like a short story even if it's so theatrical.

I'm so there.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Bumping to see if anybody else is going. We seem to have a nice little contingent so far!
