An area premiere can be both exciting, nerve-wracking and intriguing all the same time. It’s exciting because we as audience members are going into a show we really don’t know anything about; both the plot and music are new and fresh to us. However, that can also be a little strange to someone who doesn’t mind seeing Little Shop of Horrors twenty times because it’s familiar. Humans like the familiar. I went out of my comfort zone a bit by seeing Bernarda Alba at Theatre Latté Da. The area premiere is playing through Feb. 16 and features a powerful all-female cast.
