I am just writing to let you know how much we (my students and I) enjoyed the production of Tartuffe directed by Charles Gerber. I loved the acting and wanted to mention how much I enjoyed Cleanté's "sensible" speeches and facial expressions: ranging from disbelief to disgruntlement to a saintly patience with the silliness of Mme. Pernelle and Tartuffe himself. The cast had chemistry, energy, and great wit in their interpretations of the super-clever translation.

Everything in and about the production fits...the splendid acting ensemble combine to present a timeless look and an opportunity to laugh at human gullibility and weakness...it's all an awful lot of fun.
Paul Weidner’s translation, with its political edge, its humor, and its moral lessons, is necessary and timely. If you’re a fan of Tartuffe you will not be disappointed. If you’ve never seen the play, WorkShop Theatre’s production is a nice entrée to this classic work.
With unemployment in full swing, and with many American workers taking on more than one job to stay afloat, Jaworowski's play — is decidedly relevant. Jaworowski takes on these themes in a deft and clear fashion, never over-playing the drama, just presenting the reality of what is … Interchange is worth seeing.
In a series of 19 taut and well-constructed scenes, Mr. Jaworowski plots the course of five seemingly unrelated lives that are gradually revealed to be closely interconnected and that will be irrevocably altered through circumstance and coincidence...
The small, intimate WorkShop Theater is the perfect venue for a play about crucial decision-making moments...Interchange has many lovely moments of connection and discovery...worth your while
"Florencia is fearless and funny...I personally don't appear on stage myself very often, but I couldn't resist the opportunity of performing some very fun material with Florencia. As a consummate actor and, as it turns out, fierce playwright, she's an inspiration and a delight."
