      I thought it was going to be boring, but they changed my mind almost immediately. Richard himself was marvelous and entertainingly evil. The rest of the cast had some equally great performances. I had never read the story before, but they made it easy to follow and understand with the acting and direction. I hope to go see it again before it is over! Collapse

      The cast did a great job while each played multiple characters during this show. Young kids would enjoy the show so that they can see what it was like to do a radio show back in the 1940's. My 80 year old grandma loved the show as she reminised about how she used to listen to old radio shows. It was especially fun to see the actors act while the guy made props noises of slamming doors, splashing water, glass breaking, and others. This was a really enjoyable show to watch. The theater is small so all of the seats were great too. Collapse
