Written and directed by Emmy Award winner Eric Maierson and now in performances at Tom Noonan's Paradise Factory Theater, Reprise arrives for its World Premiere and packs quite a punch in the brief hour it takes to get through the entire ordeal. I say that with the utmost appreciation of how much of an emotional affect this show has on its audience. With three actors given the brunt of the work of keeping the audience thoroughly engaged in what's going on, they are spectacular in what they manage to do here. Three actors who, in the intimate drama that ensues, make you forget that a performance is being watched and instead allow those carnal feelings of lust, longing, love and confusion to completely take over.

Tom Noonan's Paradise Factory Theater will host the World Premiere of REPRISE, a new American drama written and directed by Emmy Award winner Eric Maierson. The production will star Ken Forman, Tara Westwood and Sean Patrick Folster. Previews begin May 18 with opening night slated for Friday, May 26. Scroll down for photos!
