Story narrator/New York Sun publisher Edward P. Mitchell guides the audience through myriad scene changes and keeps the story in context. Played exquisitely by Tom Birkeland, the role is the anchor piece for what happens on stage. Director Aaron Mohs-Hale hit a home run with Mr. Birkeland, who has never been better than he is in this outing. Wryly humorous at times, and sternly sober in others Birkeland drifts back and forth from narrator to publisher with seamless grace. As Mitchell, his care for an employee in a bad way shows through a gruff exterior. As show guide, Mr. Birkeland is just what Mohs-Hale asked for in this spot.
