EMA Review: Come From Away Irresistible ★★★★★1/2
By Erik Engman Author, Clown and Improvisation Teacher, Theatre Critic, EatMoreArtVegas.com IG: ErikReviewsVegas 25 years. It has been 25 years since 9/11 and that terrible day when terrorists commandeered four planes and changed our lives forever through violence and hatred. Can you believe it? I can’t.
