"11 Central Ave." #5 is better than the earlier efforts. The recording and mixing are (and have been) good. Some of the acting is good and some is uneven, which begs the director to take a stronger hand and/or quickly gain more experience, especially since different generations comprise the cast. Producing a weekly, original theatrical piece 4 minutes in length is challenging. Perhaps the series will improve further with sufficient time and patience. I think the single biggest and fastest advance would come with more deftly written scripts. The producer might find that relinquishing a hat or two, and delegating or collaborating more with respect to some tasks, would elevate the results.
