| Nearly every scene has a title, usually with character names and locations projected on the three walls of the stage. The production makes it clear from the top that we can't just ignore these projections. I found everything crystal clear with the help of these headers, but also because I found the actors did exceptionally specific portrayals of multiple characters. This sort of play (minimal set with a few actors playing many roles in countless short scenes over the course of decades) usually doesn't capture me, but I found that the tightness and grace of the production, as well the aforementioned performances, deepened the experience immensely. I was captivated and moved to tears on both occasions that I saw it. |

| Agreed! The projections made the story very easy to follow. I'm wondering if the projections are obscured in certain areas of the theater. For instance, in the last rows of the orchestra, does the mezzanine' overhang obscure the audience's ability to see the projections? If so, I would avoid those seats. INDECENT tells a potent, highly theatrical story that is so relevant to our current times. I love the ad campaign that says something to the effect of "When immigration is banned, the truth denied and love condemned - art matters more than ever." So true in this play and in our current political climate. |

| I sat in the next to last row of house left side orchestra. The supertitles were still visible although there were 2-3 times where I had to duck slightly to make sure I saw everything, or look over at the stage left projections. But the majority of them where there were only a few lines of text were visible beneath the overhang. | |
