"If Mr. Right isn't coming, is it better to settle?"

The title comes from the Salt Lake Tribune's provocatively titled preview, for our upcoming production of "The Heiress."

This play is more than just a period piece about two lovers. It is a story that is sure to resonate with the audience as they compare dating and courtship in the 1800s, with dating and courtship in the 21st century.

And read the city's newest theater reviewer in her first preview article for PTC, Erica Hansen from the Deseret News:

(Welcome, Erica!)

Last night was the Final Dress Rehearsal and the audience was buzzing at intermission. Some of the comments I heard where I was sitting (these aren't spoilers, so feel free to read on): "This can't end well; no matter what happens, this isn't going to end well!" "They remind me of my ex-wife's family." "Does he love her? I can't tell." "The doctor is so mean!" and my favorite, "Do you think those are all real candles?"

Please, if you've seen "The Heiress," share your thoughts here!
