We saw "Shadowman" on opening night. It's a masterfully written and performed story of secrets, sin, and redemption.

While dark and intense, there's still moments of humor and sweetness as it builds to a surprising, yet satisfying conclusion.

Due to the subject matter and overall intensity, it's NOT a show for the kiddos by any means. But those who love good drama and original theatre should definitely try to attend this week's final three performances (Thursday - Saturday at 8:00 PM).
