Review: THE STEEL MAN Forges Forth at Penguin Rep Theatre.
At the center of the orbit of mashed-up relationships is the consummate performance of Sam Guncler. He prowls the stage as a feral Leo with gritty gravitas. He is the “steel man” not just because he lives in Pittsburgh, but also because he has defied death several times, including twice surviving fires, one time while working in a steel mill, so it’s more than a figure of speech to say the steel-spined Leo has been to hell and back.
Review: LET THERE BE LOVE at Penguin Rep
What did our critic think of LET THERE BE LOVE at Penguin Rep? Quite often dramas concerning race, immigration, family squabbles (and other issues that we can’t reveal here without spoiling) tend to be in-your-face, preachy and heavy-handed. “Let There Be Love” is a play about all of the former, with none of the latter. It is charming, moving, hilariously funny and full of tremendous heart.
