Choose Your Own Play is a comedy that allows the audience to decide what happens in that performance. With over 80 different possible endings and multiple twists and turns, creators Timmy Woods and Greg Hundemer provide the audience with a well-executed night of improvisation.
Actors Alex Dorman and Matt Lusk delivered strong performances, playing their multiple roles with ease. Caleb George stood out with his performances as Satan and Waldo from Where’s Waldo? This guy should be on Saturday Night Live!
I was so impressed that the actors kept their energy up in the most uncomfortable theatre. Without air-conditioning, the Milagro Theatre was a sauna. In fact, some audience members left at intermission. There were also problems with the lights, which I felt left many characters in the dark or shadowed so heavily that their lines were lost. I went on opening night, so I’m confident that these technical issues will be repaired during the run.
Choose Your Own Play is hilarious and a lot of fun for the audience, especially those interested in improvisation.
This play is not for all ages. It contains adult situations and mature language. I highly recommend this play to teenagers, but be warned… it can get hot in that theatre.
