Really Good Theatre
Keith and I went to see No Mercy at the 24th Street Theatre tonight. Awesome. That space is amazing and the cast was outstanding (and I know I'm biased, having cast it and all, but seriously, those were some kick-ass actors who did a fantastic job).
Really liked the staging and "choreography" of time shifts. Constance Congdon's script is phenomenal. I was truly moved by the message of hopelessness and faith, as chilling today as it must've been when written 20 years ago. Haunting stuff. WELL DONE!
I'm especially impressed with Matty Ferraro, Phil Ward, Dawn-Lyen Gardner, and Geno Monteiro. Ashley West Leonard and John Dennis Johnston rocked pretty dang hard in their on-the-air scene. Great space, lovely work. Congrats to Jay McAdams, Debbie Devine, Carolyn Palmer, and Larry Biederman on the celebration of live theatre and the 24th Street Theatre's 10th Anniversary.
So glad to have been a part of it, even in some wee little bit. Congratulations and cheers!! (LA Times listing here.)

I've performed there, and I loved it! Since your casting there now, when will I get a chance to get back on that stage? ;-) heehee
