During this evenings performance of Some Girls at Stephens College, I will be trying out a new mobile method of sharing my thoughts about the performance. I will turn my blackberry off during the performance (that is just good theater etiquette) but I will update this post during both intermission and after the show to tell you what I though about Neil LaBute’s play.

Thoughts during intermission-
While the set and costumes seem to be flawless. I find myself a little bit bored with the story line. The plot follows a man as he visit previous girlfriends before getting married. While the characters seem to be excellently acted, I am not too impressed with the story line itself. The changes in set between the visits to each one of his previous girlfriends are a nice touch though.

Thoughts after the show-
It’s hard to like a show when you don’t really like the characters. Not the actors, the actors were great, but the characters within themselves proved to be mostly not likable at all. Due to this fact, the show seemed to drag on and on and on and on. Overall, I have seen better things at Stephens making this surely not one of their best shows.
