Client Review on Depot Theater Company

Feedback:

My wife and I attended the Sep 29 performance of Sin, Sex, And the CIA (a play that has been performed across the nation for several years). The Depot Theater Company's (DTC) performance of this play was wooden, unimaginative, and talentless. While the script has potential, as can be seen on several YouTube videos, DTC manages to eliminate the possibility of that potential seeing the light of the west Kansas sky. The producers of the play found a director with no sense of timing, performers with no element of talent, and staging less theatrical than a high-school one act play. Sin, Sex & the C.I.A. is supposed to be a farce delivered with a healthy dose of slapstick and exaggeration. It's supposed to be FUN and FUNNY - it was neither. It almost felt like the director tasked the cast with taking their lines seriously, to rise above the "Luci Loves Desi" atmosphere of the actual play. I would breakdown the simplistic stereotyping of the casting, but I believe I've said enough. The play tickets ran $55 each with dinner - a sum more farcical and humorous than the play itself! The fee is unjustified by any standard, however, the food was worth the $11 upcharge. In fact, it was the only value the night delivered.
