My Father-in-law


Pops-1

My father-in-law, Ed Koschmann, during our recent visit at Christmas. Pops is 89 and soon to be 90. I've known him going on 24 years now and he's been a great person to know: intelligent, passionate, and loving. He loves a good conversation and debate. A few years ago, he spent 3 hours discussing the minimum qualifications you need to get into heaven with two of my friends. Pops was raised Missouri Synod Lutheran and is very devoted to that denomination. He loved the 3 hour debate and was looking to continue the conversation even when we had given up.

This is such a brilliant play and the set and lighting were so well done. In this scene, we are traveling back in time to see the passion of one of the characters about baseball. The tight lighting just made the scene even better.

I found the stories within the stories powerful and well acted for a group of High School students. As usual, the set design and lighting was excellent.
