Man from Nebraska, South Coast Repertory (2006)
Cast: Brian Kerwin (Ken Carpenter), Kathy Baker (Nancy Carpenter), Ben Livingston (Reverend Todd), Jane A. Johnston (Cammie Carpenter), Susannah Schulman (Ashley Kohl), Laura Niemi (Pat Monday), Susan Dalian (Tamyra), Julian Stone (Harry Brown), Hal Landon, Jr. (Bud Todd)

Man from Nebraska is a play about a man (Ken) who discovers that he no longer believes in God and needs to cope with what this means for his every day life. Somehow, in examining this, his pastor suggests he take a trip and he ends up in London for an extended vacation of sorts. The beginning moves a little slowly, but even those scenes were sometimes funny partly due to the lack of dialogue.

The cast is really great. Susan Dalian was particularly good as the bartender (Tamyra) in London.

I was surprised that they got the permission to use an instrumental version of Disney's "A Whole New World" in one of the scenes. They tend to be very selective in the use of their music.

For those of you who are General Hospital fans, you'd appreciate seeing Julian Stone (Jerry Jacks) live.

Grade: B-
