LOL! Yes, I've seen those commercials! I ran into a lot of them while doing research for this role. The moment you are speaking of is when Joe Keller realizes that his greedy business decisions changed the lives of countless families and resulted in many deaths. It is a very touching moment in the show. "Our" Joe Keller was an amazing actor named Lindsey Ginter... Check him out on IMDB, he's been in shows like Lost and Star Trek: TNG. Cool guy!

what's with the ringing in the back?

@Influx27 Pretty sure it's just feedback from the device recording the scene. Wasn't really a high quality camcorder or anything. In fact I am pretty sure it was just a digital camera set to "Video Mode"... Regardless, I am happy to have a copy of it... Sorry if the noise was distracting :(

apology accepted. to be honest, I was actually looking for the very end of act 3, where the dad (name's not coming to me) realizes that all of the kids who died because of him were kind of his sons too. It's a really moving piece, but I've only ever read the play, so I wanted to see how it would look on stage.

Thanks though. I'm glad to see something of the play on here that isn't some god awful commercial for a moving company.
