Don't Take Life Cirrusly--Didactic Comedy with Cloud 9
by Daniel Collins - February 15, 2009

Enlighten, but don't lecture. And above all, pleeeezzzz-ENTERTAIN.

by Charles Shubow - February 13, 2009
Bruce R. Nelson Excels at the Everyman Theatre:Well, it's happened three times. Plays that I saw on Broadway that were critically acclaimed but yet I didn't really enjoy them. Then I saw them at the intimate Everyman Theatre and loved them. It started with Proof, then Doubt, and now I Am My Own Wife. In the latter, I was stunned at the wonderful performance by Jefferson Mays (an associate artist at Center Stage), yet I didn't grasp the show as much as I did after seeing the cast at the Everyman. And who makes up the cast? The incomparable Bruce R. Nelson in a tour de force performance that you will remember forever!
