They did an excellent job.  There was quite a bit of energy in this old play.  Basically it is about a man and his three daughters in 1880s Brittain.  The man, Hobson, owns a shoe shop but is more or less owned by his daughters.  The interesting thing about &#8220;Hobson&#8217;s Choice&#8221; is that he has no choice at all.  The poor guy can&#8217;t get the upper hand, though the audience isn&#8217;t inclined to be sad for him.  (It is a comedy you know.)  Tonight all of the acting was dead on.  Our friend, Dan, played the part of Will.  It is sometimes hard to not &#8220;see&#8221; Dan when I go to his plays, but this time it was total immersion.  Check it out this weekend if you can, as it is your last chance.  See details at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nwsource.com\/ae\/scr\/edb_ed.cfm?c=&#038;evt=164765&#038;s=nws\">NWSource.com<\/a>.
