Stage Review: Excellent 'Don Carlos' has too short a run

Post Gazette: "It is a ravishing start to a turbulent, disturbing play. The sets are limited by choice, combining with gorgeous costumes, highly theatrical lights and directorial bravado such as you expect on the Carnegie Mellon mainstage, but not in its Rauh studio. This is not simply an MFA project, but a full-out, ambitious, largely successful version of Schiller's infuriating masterpiece."

Hmmm...
This seems to be a pretty extravagantly kind review to us. Usually they have alot worse things to say. It's funny how some of the things he points out as positives are things that we've questioned. It's always interesting to compare outside reviews to what the school of drama students are thinking.

Yea it was a very short run. It was in fact a brilliant work of art from both designers and actors alike. It is funny that Devon Allen's lighting work is mentioned both in Conservatory hour and in this review because I was in awe as well. It was amazing.
