This play deals with four college aged characters on their trip to Vegas. The one act takes place in the midst of the Grand Canyon where some shocking revelations take place. Baldwin's dialogue felt forced in some places, but I was not sure if it was the actor's or the playwright's fault. The play was racy, hyper-sexualized, yet did build nicely into the climax. I felt that the character of Andy being an "unknown" could have fit in more naturally somehow. Some of the textual images were great and some were lost on me, but over all they were still thought provoking. I give these actors mad props for being part of the New Theater Group and "baring their souls" in helping to create this work. I was engaged the whole time. Balcom's staging worked well in the arena. Four out of Five.
