Action Jesus
Description
** [TWO STARS] Judging by the title, I was hoping for a tongue-in-cheek musical about dancing divinities transforming water into wine. Unfortunately, no such miracles occur in this humdrum one-woman comedy: Writer-performer Leslie Harrell Dillen instead dwells on a middle-aged bohemian’s struggles with her closeted Christianity, her desire to be a writer, and the twin temptations of extramarital affairs and sales at Saks. Despite Dillen’s peppy performance, I couldn’t help yawning at the slightly proselytizing material, which suggests a bush-league play staged by a liberal church group.--Helen Yun, Seek Writer
