In The Time of the Butterflies at Book-it Repertory Theater. Playwright is Caridad Svich, based on the novel by Julia Alvarez.
Good acting by an all-female cast. I'm pleasantly surprised to see 2 very overweight ladies acting and acting well. I'm not sure I like the story much, because of the lack of context. I couldn't see how bad the president Trujillo was. The play only portraits him as a dictator and womanizer, and people are jailed if they are against him, but not why they were agaist the regeme. I like the singing. One set, one act. A very small audience. ~10, and not all are paying customers. I hope they'll do better later.
