BWW Reviews: THE PIGEONING Captivates with Clever, Moving puppetry
by Julie Haverkate - Dec 9, 2013
A middle-aged 9-5er sits at attention at his highly organized desk in a dull, spare, wood-paneled office. He pores over a safety manual, vigorously highlighting essential remarks, forcefully repeating them to himself as though trying to permanently lodge their obvious yet hilariously vague sentiments into his head (strive to 'support functionality of ourselves and others'). With his 1980s comb-over and droopy eyes hidden behind coke-bottle glasses, Frank is one of those office drones that works to live, yet life outside the office seems non-existent. He's a sad, even depressing, figure, and yet, in The Pigeoning, created and directed by Robin Frohardt and presented as part of the HERE Dream Music Puppetry program (one of the few programs in the country to commission contemporary adult puppet works), he's exceptional.

The Bushwick Starr Theater Presents COVERS , 9/6-9/9
by Laura Meltzer - Aug 6, 2012
The Bushwick Starr and Katy Pyle present Covers, by Katy Pyle with Jules Skloot. In this evening length cabaret of forms, Pyle and Skloot shape-shift through a series of queered archetypes in a continual effort to see and be seen through layers of shame and loneliness. Performing beneath quilts, they cover and transform songs, dance styles, and contemporary performance tropes, inhabiting and discarding roles in an amorphous landscape of shifting identity and perception. Text by Francis Weiss Rabkin. Music contributions from Erica Livingston, Margot Bassett, and Katie Workum.

Photo Flash: Cortland Rep's SMELL OF THE KILL
by Nicole Rosky - Aug 17, 2011
Golf balls fly, plates smash and 'game hunting' takes on new meaning in Cortland Repertory Theatre's next production, the hysterical comedy 'The Smell of the Kill'. Written by Michele Lowe, this contemporary play makes its CRT debut as the fifth show of the theatre's 40th Anniversary season, and stars three talented actresses familiar to the CRT audience.
