The scenic elements, the staging, the actors all worked in concert. The choice of music, and performers were all spot-on, capturing the flavor, never distracting. I do agree about the videos, seemed distracting, like a disparate element that was sort of added on, didn't really fit, but ultimately did not take away from the power of the performance. The use of sound effects was particularly excellent. I look forward to your next production, and to contributing to your endeavors.

It has everything, a dramatic story with some beautiful text (this will make you want to re-read Faulkner), video, live music and dancing, lots of dirt, a casket and free Budweiser. What more could you want? This is experimental and innovative theater that is completely accessible. My main questions were about the use of video projections. I liked them, but they sort of disappeared early on and there didn't seem to be a strong logic or aesthetic reason why. Everything else looks so dirt cheap real (in a good way!); I'm not sure that projections don't detract from that appeal.

It was very creative and the actors really brought it to life. Loved it! I’m so happy that I could see this performance.
