Comments:

The show went very well and was positively received by the audience. There were some good criticisms of the show during talkback, which was lively. The show's subject matter and presentation are both a bit on the edgy side, but it did not seem to bother the audience much.

The writer said the experience was an overall positive one and says that this workshop process was wonderful to have as a resource. Same can be said for the actors' experience as well.

Overall Comments:

The event went well. I have a concern for next month. The first Tuesday falls on July 3rd, which is technically a holiday. Can we move it back a week to July 10th?
