      <![CDATA[It seems like sending Temple Lentz to this show might've been a better move than sending a fashion writer. Temple is a sketch and stand-up fan, and understands the genre. Because of that, she might not have used the word "skits." "Skits" are something boys in water balloon-stuffed bras perform at church camp. Grown-up comedians perform sketches. And The Aces perform them with aplomb. I was there for the immediate, enthusiastic standing ovation on Saturday as well. And if Rose didn't laugh once at the show, there's a chance she's a robot. Which is kind of awesome, but sending a robot to review a sketch show seems even more questionable than the fashion writer thing.

      <![CDATA[I enjoyed this show from beginning to end.  I was impressed by the number of good sketches, which were fresh, smart and so funny people were covering their mouths to keep control of their loud snorts and giggle fits.  It is rare to laugh from surprise and it was nice to feel that many times over.  Thanks to The Aces for their solid writing and honest performances.  I feel sorry for Rose, because she missed out on enjoying a wonderful show, offered at a very reasonable price.  Too bad she took up a sought after seat in this consistently sold out show.

      <![CDATA[I was at this show and they got a standing ovation, and I was one of the people surrounding Rose who was laughing their ass off. Rose writes articles about fashion. Typical Mercury to send someone to a show who isn't qualified just to take a snarky shit on it. This show is awesome.

      <![CDATA[What a powerful and moving performance. The actors were superb, and the thought-provoking storyline will leave you talking about it long after leaving the theater. I highly recommend this for all who who appreciate independent art at it's finest. I hope this play receives as much attention as it deserves in a city worthy of hosting its world premiere.

      <![CDATA[there are many young avid theatrical artists in this town who unfortunately have no mentors so they ply their craft on their own and their choice of material is often trite - though it seems profound to them i;m sure.  Portland needs to grow up.
