Needs work
This show is very mediocre. It was in an audition space, not a theatre when I saw it. It wasn't professional lighting. And the plot was very mediocre and cliche. Cliche characters. Which, I don't know if I should blame the actors or the playwright/director. I mean, Seymour was a "typical," cliche version of what black men are represented as: cheap and fussy. Which does not help our community. Not for laughs or anything. The dialogue seemed as though a 12yr old wrote it. I couldn't tell if they were from the south or New York City. The play was confusing. It was not thoroughly written and it seriously was made to "try" and please audiences. The jokes were obvious and just horrible. Most of the characters didn't even need to be in the show. Mason and Kekee, the two kids, were in out of scenes. They were in scenes for what it seemed less than a minute. The show could have done without them. The actor that plays Mason, wasn't too believable either. There were over 12 characters. There was no real point for that. If the playwright is published, then theatre should rethink their criteria for this type of stuff. I just felt as though this was not theatre. High school and college productions have been 100x better. If this is what FIG's usual type of plays, whether original or not, I will never attend another one of their productions
