Thanks for your thoughtful words, Emily.
What I'm discovering, in regards to opinions of the show, is that people either loved it or hated it. For every person who said that they were disappointed, someone else said that they were very moved by it. And I'm ok with that. I think it's all a matter of expectation. It seems that our show was one of the most anticipated shows at the Fringe this year (for either the theme or the design aspects). I think people wanted something that the show never was, so of course they were disappointed. The story was never supposed to be epic or complex. If it came across cliche or obvious to people, well, it was kind of meant to be... in the way fairy tales are. We didn't want to be important. Schindler's List and Syriana are both way out of our league. Hell, we weren't even trying to be Pan's Labyrinth. We just wanted to educate with a little tale that anyone, of any age or background, could understand. Did we have a message? Absolutely. And that in itself is a huge risk at Fringe.
I guess my feminine and masculine sides are balanced, because I *crush* both TJ & Courtney (Poofy) FCF!!! (Fringe Crush Forever- at least till next Fringe)!

Jesus in Montana was delightfully funny, intriguing and thought provoking. Barry's skills in story telling, enabled him to relate to the thoughts and questions most of us experience at some point in our lives, as we all attempt to make sense out of things that don't always make sense. Don't miss this show at future fringe festivals, and look forward to Barry Smith show in the 2008 Orlando Fringe! I definatley won't miss it!

Paige,
That's too funny. I was thinking the same thing backstage and hoping the lights wouldn't pick that up. Hope you enjoyed the show otherwise.
