Lisa Dillman’s play parallels two stories: one covers a series of three incarcerations of women in mental asylums dating from 1886, 1920’s and the late 1930’s while the other story features Carrie (Lacy Katherine Campbell) who is researching women in asylums.
This well sung show was highlighted by the strong vocals form Eric Lindahl and Tom McGunn. For me the dancers made this show a treat. Kevin Bellie gets the pop/rock score to move with energy
No es fácil imaginar sacar humor de la obra de Arthur Miller, Death of a Salesman, pero milagrosamente y con el espíritu latino indominable, eso es lo que hace la dramaturga Teresa Dovalpage con esta obra muy original.

Buried Child is a most macabre and perversely humorous tale of a Midwestern family burdened with a dark, terrible secret. When the grandson Vince (winning work from Dsvid Dastmalchian) and his girlfriend Shelly (the intense Helen Sadler) return to the family farm
While the plot seems relatively uninspired, the music keeps your attention with a diversity of styles and textures. Britten’s interest in atonality comes through during more conversational moments when the vocal lines can seem almost awkward and unmusical, but these passages are balanced by a couple beautiful more diatonic arias.
The cast manically works the material and the audience to get everyone to have a good time. This is a nice date show. The cast is getting valuable experience trying to make tough material funny.
