Ameriville

A perfectly executed commentary on the inefficiencies of our government, Ameriville delivers to the audience premier writing, acting and a thick message. The play began examining the effects of Katrina, but moved on to various broad messages regarding issues with mismanagement. The message behind the play, though important, is rather obtuse, and purely rhetorical. However, let this not overshadow the superb acting and compositional skills of the Universes team. Each scene flowed in and out of itself, with fast paced lane changes between humor, tragedy, outrage, and nonsense. Executed flawlessly, and held down by the awesome performance of Ninja aka William Ruiz (chalked full of beatboxing and voice impressions), a cathartic and mesmerizing piece of work.
