Seeing a great new piece of theatre by a female playwright that mixes quirky characters in a realistic motel environment with surreal flights into those characters' minds? Needless to say, I walked out of Motel Cherry with a gigantic smile on my face.

When it comes to "whatever," one has to walk the line between expressing ennui and producing it in the audience. This Uncle Vanya leans towards the later in the beginning, but once it gets into the groove it finds a better balance.

New plays with something to say are always worth going to see, and Snyder does indeed have a lot to say. I would encourage both playwright and company to keep working with this play, as it is something good that could certainly grow to be great.
