While the reviewer tries to be honest about what they saw, how they feel about it, and are entitled to their opinion, I believe they are missing the point of suspension of disbelief, and the point of the last part of the play. Similarly all those students worked very hard and gave up their free time to do more than simply "play dress up". There is no theatre major at NC State, the students come from all majors and all walks of life and many of them are new to the experience I don't think we should downplay their hard work as "dress up".
