RE:Terrific!!!!!
From the script to the direction to the clever set design and most of all to the superb acting, SLIPPING is a tight and engrossing ninety minutes in the theater you will not soon forget. The tortured life of a teen aged protagonist and those who fill his life is right on as a drama and brilliant as an ensemble work. Its ending soon. GO! Highly recommended.

Seth has recently relocated from San Francisco to Iowa with his mother, Jan (Meg Gibson), following the death of his father. Eli is the odd man out at high school, yet is befriended by fellow student and baseball jock Jake (MacL[...]
