Who Drinks Mocktails on the Beach?!

Painted Fern Productions—Son of Warehouse

The company lists the show as a “musical” but it’s more storytelling than musical. In fact, I may have cut down on the time spent on music and added more to the plot. The intro and development were super but the climax didn’t come until the final minute and there was no actual denouement; it’s implicit and you’re supposed to infer it as a viewer.

For me, it was easy to fill in the gap of the missing denouement but that’s because this tale mirrors my own life in many ways. I just wrote that turning point in my life at age 50-something, and not 20/30-something. It would have been nice to see some reasoning behind her revelation and enlightenment.
