Review: NIGHTINGALE at Atwater Village Theatre

Review: SHPIDER! at THE BRICK HOUSE THEATRE
by Tracey Paleo - November 13, 2024
Before seeing this show, I knew nothing of it besides a quite comedically tantalizing Instagram promo video and a snazzy 60’s referencing sci-fi movie poster. The script and plot however was as elusive as even the idea of a commonly puerile film executive attempting to write an exploitable and profitable, A-list silver screen-play hit written by a bunch of particularly un-talented and servile lackeys. And yet, SHPIDER! is as surprising a runaway hit as (spoiler) the comedy’s fantastical ending!
