The theater is gorgeous, and the plays are intriguing. But this theater does the STRANGEST casting I've ever seen. They seem to like to put people who don't fit the character's description (esp women) in roles that are clearly meant for someone else. I guess they have a reason, but the last two plays I've seen here, including Hillary and Clinton and Sex with Strangers were incomprehensible because the casting was so unbelievable. Imagine Snow White with a 90 year old man playing the lead, and you'll see what I mean.
