Culture Corner: Review of The American Plan

During Melanie Gras 2009, Jason, Kara and I went to see The American Plan. This one will have you talking for weeks to come. That's what it said in the review that Jason read. The beginning of the play was a little slow, but we watched and we waited. And when we least expected it, the lady behind us "whispered" to her husband, "THIS is what is going to happen." And Jason, Kara and I all sat there and watched and thought "crap. THAT is what is going to happen." And then it happened and was anti-climatic for us all. At least, those of us within ear shot of that lady.

What else do I have to say about this? It was a good play, but I felt the second act seemed rush. A lot happened, but I would have liked to see some items flushed out more, a little more explanation of how we got from A to C. Honestly? If we hadn't been told we'd be talking about it, I don't think we would have been talking about it.

Jason says: "___________ " (I still don't know exactly what to say about it, except that I honestly can say I enjoyed this one.)
