2013.5.30. A Bright New Boise at Third Rail

Thursday, A Bright New Boise by Samuel D. Hunter at Third Rail Repertory Theatre. Bravo for a writer of 32 years old. Excellent character portraits. Question of faith, human relation. Will, a strong believer that God should come to earth NOW to burn the ugliness, gets a job as a cashier in a new city. 2 reasons: his teenage son who was put to adoption as a baby also works in this store, his own evangelical church had a scandal back in his home town.

Excellent acting. Good stage set. 90 minutes without intermission. I don't get the video that's playing throughout the play: ear or eye surgery.

My first time with 3rd Rail, and Winningstad theatre. U shaped. 2 levels. ~300 seats. Quite good for plays.
