"Don't Drink the Water"

I went to opening night of this hilarious play and laughed from start to finish! The comedic timing and excellent interpretations of each character by every actor really pulled you into the hysterically high stakes hijinks of characters both foreign and domestic. I give this play my highest recommendation of 2 snorts and commend the actors, director, and crew for a truly wonderful production. Oh and the cake was great too!

Hilarious!!

This talented cast did a wonderful job of bringing Woody Allen’s 1960’s comedy to the stage of the First Avenue Playhouse! The show is a must see!! We thoroughly enjoyed opening night in this charming setting, topped off by complimentary coffee and desert! The staff is warm and friendly! A perfect venue to enjoy a relaxing evening with friends and family! Not a bad seat in the house! Looking forward to returning!
