Not everyone in Calgary is "making a fuss" over Angels.  It's turning out
to be one of the biggest hits Alberta Theatre Projects has had.  So far
a couple of MLA's and some journalists have been upset by it.  Big
deal.  Box office alone seems to prove that their response is uninformed
and out of touch.  Apparently there has been some controversy over the
show even in Toronto.  Speaking for the Calgarians who were looking
forward to it all summer, this production certainly lived up to the play's
reputation.  The only bad thing about it is we have to wait until next May
to see the second part on stage.
