Regarding the acting, though, I do find it interesting to juxtapose your comment to that of Faye Kesey, who, after seeing two performances of SAGN on opening weekend, told P.J. Sosko, "you ARE Hank Stamper!" AST,

I was personally very disappointed by the acting and the script. It is one of my favorite books, so I admit I may be hard to please. But I felt like it was too focused on plot lines and missed the feeling of the book. Also, the accents were inconsistent. And if Viv had acted the part of a shy dreamer she wouldn't have had to shout about it to get that point across to the audience. I did think the lighting and set were very well done. Unfortunately, as a whole the experience didn't leave me wanting to go back to see more shows here. I don’t want to start any arguments, just give my 2 cents.

Since you're with a producing organization, the best way to get the text is to contact Aaron Posner's agent, Mary Harden, of Harden Curtis Literary. She'll be happy to work with you.

This one interests me, as a local story and a 'local' product. Is there a script available to read and possibly stage regionally?

We do have a seating chart, but it looks like the link had been deleted from this page. I've corrected it for you. I hope you enjoyed the show, and I hope you discovered what a great clear and close view the balcony seats have. Julie,
