Triple Crown for a Triple Feature
Rating: 5
Science Fiction Triple Feature
The Coterie Theatre
I went to see the Science Fiction Triple Feature and was blown away. I was moved by all three one acts. I found myself hurting along with Charlie during the "Flowers for Algernon" and questioning our methods of trying to "fix" everything quickly and not asking ourselves if the quick fix is worth it. "The Veldt" written by Bradbury many years ago shows us that being a parent is by involving ourselves in our children's lives by being there, not buying items to replace parents and the day to day contact that we have with our children. The "River to Babylon" that was written in '37 was a forecast of what could happen in our lives if we don't make some changes.
I was please with all the performances in the ensemble cast with a notable performance by Rusty Sneary as Charlie in "Flowers." The acting was marvelous including the two newcomers to the stage. I am always impressed with Jeff Church's productions and have never left disappointed.
