‘MASS APPEAL’ OCTOBER 22

October 22, 2014 — Speaking with Joey Watkins, the director of AD Players’ “Mass Appeal” at the talk-back session after the first performance tonight, I realized that I had not misread his unmitigated, intolerance for drunkenness and abuse of power. To him, the truth-telling deacon changed everything in the heart and mind of the elderly priest. The set was truly well-conceived and the technical aspects of the show were, in general well-executed. I really, really liked the fragmented stained-glass window church and office setting. The second act was more Jack Lemmony and very easy to watch/follow.
