Strong characters help Playhouse Rep's 'That Championship Season' revive memories of bygone era
Post Gazette: "They don't write them like they used to: three acts in real time, exposition, complication and explosion, fueled by alcohol and simmering passion. Gaps aside, 'That Championship Season' is a pretty well-made version of that seldom-seen archetype, the well-made play."

I think its interesting how the author refers to "The Championship Season" as a 'seldom seen archetype'. Because in thinking about it, hes right, you hardly see the stories about life as we know it and now were struggling with our own realities. I feel like theyre more angst ridden and no one understands me types of shows. Which can trun out to be great shows, but I agree that I think it is nice that this show is taking us back.
