OK, first let me say that as a cast member of this production whose performance was not worth mentioning in a positive light, I may be uniquely disqualified to say anything here, so with that disclaimer, I'm going to anyway.

This critique reads like it came from someone who clearly wrote a better play that was not as well received. That means you were jealous and that means you had no objectivity and that means you should have stayed home.

Don't you think it is interesting that the audience watched a play that lacked character development actually liked the characters they saw on stage? I do. In fact they seemed to like every character you failed to mention. Alexx wrote to a TV audience and he hit a home run.

You assume too much if you assume that a strong, able actor such as Andrea was tightly directed. Alvina grew from the script as Andrea built her. Your references to Carla are really a simple coinsidence [sic] of similar appearance. Hard to get past, but if you took the effort you would see they are not the same.

And while I am at it, get some professional help for your website. I picture you gleefully laughing and clapping your hands while the rats who enter this maze can't find the cheese. As a self-appointed spokesman for the rats, please clean this thing up.

Kevin Young
the unworthy Keilbasa.
