Mysteries
The most fascinating element of "The Mysteries" included the experience as a whole; the atmosphere of being in the performance and interacting with the actors was inevitable. The intimate space provided an excellent means for this. Dialogue used by the actors was astounding and surprisingly good at capturing the audience's attention at the opportune moments. Due to the length of the production, it was crucial to untilize the emphasis of certain words and phrases to help the audience understand certain importances within the show. The physical closeness and setting of the performance really added to the experience as a whole; I can only imagine what an amazing experience it would have been to actually be there. Another interesting part of "The Mysteries" was the usage of actors who were constantly changing roles. It takes a talented actor to move from one character to the next and maintain a consistency within each role. Altogether it was an interesting experience which I was glad to have the opportunity to take part in.

I like the dialogue as well. It kept me very interested and while the play was very long, the use of humor and different tones was able to keep attention. The setting, like you said was also sweet. That theatre seemed to be amazing to me. It was cool how they used the space that they had so efficiently.
I agree that it is crucial during long performances to use dialogue to engage the audience. However, I felt as it the physical closeness of the audience and the actors interaction with the spectations were more engaging than just the dialogue. I'm interested to hear specifically what stood out to you. Were there particular lines of dialogue that struck you?
One of the most memorable moments in play was at the end, when they were throwing audience members into hell and condemning them as they went. For some reason, that particular scene struck me and I still remember it clearly.
