REVIEW: The Outrageous Optimist: Falcon Theatre’s “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner?”

"Falcon’s production of this play is smart, tight, and surprisingly funny. Director Piper Davis has assembled a cast who knows how to get the most from the script. They deftly alternate between humor and pathos as each set of parents grapples with their own hesitations and concerns over the upcoming marriage.

Oftentimes directors do not get their fair share of praise for a play’s success. In this case, I credit Davis for assembling a strong cast who are gutsy enough to mine the humor in a delicate and serious situation. The end result is a play that displays the humanity of its characters, warts and all, for its audience to see."
