Show: Jamaica Me Crazy

Company: Jamillah Hollman & Ericka Dennis

Venue: Acadia

I'll be brief about this play. It was brief itself. So I'll stick to that theme.

It was a play about two sisters who attempt to take a trip to Jamaica with each other. One of them can't get her poop in a group, and the other is watching her life fall apart around her. The sister-sister moments in the play ring true. However, they are often hard to hear because of sound cues that are far too loud. There are voice overs which are supposed to be the internal voices of the actresses, but instead of recording them in their own voices, they are provided by backstage actresses who don't sound like their onstage alter-egos. And their is a guy who is dressed like a guardian angel who sings random songs throughout this disjointed production.

I really wanted to like this show throughout, but I just didn't.

RATING: "d4 - Not Worth the Time"
