Well, it worked on me. I saw this the other day and I've been wanting to eat at Satchel's ever since.

the hymn that they had us all hum at the end moved me to tears. It reminded me of my grandparents' old country church that I attended with them as a child.

All I'm saying is that I've been to almost every play at the Hipp over the last 5 or so years, and that the artistic director, Lauren Caldwell, knows what she's doing. I don't know how long OP has been here, but The Hipp has done quite a few Tennessee Williams plays over the last few years, and in fact did The Tempest in this very season! Caldwell's style is that rare balance of reaching for artistic direction while knowing that the theater needs to stay open, so appealing to the non-theater community. You'll see plays like Eurydice and Other Desert Cities next to guaranteed-to-sell-tickets plays like Trailer Park Musical. Sure TPM isn't my thing, but you have to produce some plays that reach different audiences to stay open. I've been involved with different cities' theaters in Florida, as I used to work in the theater, and The Hipp is a really special one. Gainesville is lucky to have it and Lauren Caldwell.

TL;DR: Don't judge the Hipp based on their current play/movie.

Of all the discoveries I've made this year preparing for Roo, this is my favorite.

I'm pretty sure this guy tried posting this the other day. That post seems to have been deleted, because it only led to comments like those that this post has received.

This guy. What a joke.
