REVIEWS:
Lisa reviewed the stage play of 'Man of La Mancha' at 3Below as very well done & very well acted on that teeny tiny stage - highly recommended & they are still showing it for another week
Rick reviewed 'For All Mankind' on Apple TV Plus as it has started season 2 & is done well. It's interesting & he recommends it
Yochanan reviewed the Palo Alto players performance of 'Twelfth Night' as very well done, well acted & worth full price; Ken followed that he agrees with Yochanan & both recommend it;
and Yochanan reviewed streaming 'ST = Strange New Worlds' & 'The Orville' & 'The Boys' - as all 3 are great shows & he's glad he is able to watch them
Howeird reviewed his trouble-shooting skills as experimental. He tried to hook up speakers & get them to work - eventually figuring out that his audio cable was the problem
Gayle reviewed the ST Voyager episode, 'One Small Step' as a moving episode; episode was summarized as they find a derelict 21st century spacecraft in an anomaly. 7 of 9 learns respect for history in the process of getting the pilot's data from the spacecraft
