Review: CENTENNIAL CASTING at Penguin Rep Theatre

Mike Labbadia creates a larger-than-life Vincent whose slow burns, emotional outbursts, and comically hapless attempts at romance reminded me of Jackie Gleason as Ralph Kramden in seminal sitcom The Honeymooners. I mentioned the Gleason comparison to Mr. Labbadia after his performance. What I didn’t realize at that moment is that in the script, which I read later, the character breakdown for Vincent invokes “Ralph Kramden” and an authors’ note in the script references “The Honeymooners.”

Review: AGNES OF GOD at Theatre Artists Studio

Theatre Artists Studio delivers a riveting production of John Pielmeier’s AGNES OF GOD, directed by Judy Rollings. In a cerebral play that pits faith against reason and is a murder mystery to boot, Rollings's cast keeps the audience invested in a drama that is well-paced and loaded with gravitas.

Review: THE ROOMMATE at Theatre Artists Studio

BWW Reviews: Theatre Artists Studio Presents NEW SUMMER SHORTS

Theatre Artists Studio has set the table for a healthy, satisfying, and inspiring feast of plays in its 2015 NEW SUMMER SHORTS which runs through June 28th. The play's the thing in a festival of short works written and directed my members of the co-op. At ten minutes a pop, each of the eight productions in this year's showcase catches the audience's conscience, at one level or another. As mirrors of human foibles and affects, their themes resonate with the familiarity of an old mistake, eliciting a knowing smile or a reluctant frown.
