The Performances
All of the students do an excellent job at portraying their roles. The cast of Trifles really sells the circumstances and the coldness of both the Iowa farm where it takes place. They also sell the tension of both the murder and the gender politics on display.
Higher delivers on the promise of the modern rock musical; It touches the soul through harmony and beauty while bringing you face to face with uncomfortable slices of reality.
