Darcy Parker Bruce's dramedy Always Plenty of Light at the Starlight All-Night Diner is a quirky play that combines eccentric characters, a lesbian love story, time travel, and even a dinosaur or two. While the play has its shortcomings, Mesa Encore Theatre's production has a gifted cast and sure-footed direction....Darcy Parker Bruce's one act, 85-minute play is refreshingly original with interesting and intriguing characters. There are some nicely written moments that depict the genuine emotions of the characters, and the representation of impending doom and uncertainty are portrayed quite well. However, the absurdities in the play are often quite jarring against the heavy emotional scenes, and there are moments when the pacing drags...Fortunately, the Mesa Encore Theatre cast is great, with each of the four actors creating interesting and likable characters. ,,,may not be for everyone, due to its kooky, absurd nature and pacing issues, but for those looking for an offbeat and original time-traveling, lesbian love story, there's much to enjoy in Mesa Encore Theatre's production." - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
