Host-director-producer...Jonathan Pereira...has an easy charm that I imagine audiences will enjoy as much as I did...Let me tell you what I learned from this experience: actors are amazing. Actors are awesome.
"I encourage you to take the opportunity to familiarize yourself with this little-known gem that says so much that is still resonant about gender, class, power, and economics, from a point-of-view rarely given voice."
Orloff keeps the audience thoroughly amused. Co-produced by the Foolish Theatre Company, Foreign Affairs provides a thoroughly enjoyable evening at the WorkShop Theater!
It's a treat for the audience...each of these eight pieces has its own distinct voice, and shows Orloff's great range as a writer...He manages to address some heavy issues that affect relationships...infusing each with a delicate balance of humor and gravity...all 16 actors are well-cast and entertaining...a lighthearted evening that is fun and thought-provoking.
Romantic screwball comedy is alive and well...Guided perfectly by director David Gautschy and a crackerjack cast, Intellectuals is a refreshing reminder of how fun good theatre can be...writing is strong throughout...The entire cast of Intellectuals is splendid...a polished and enjoyable production...Just go and laugh
David M. Mead...shows us both this man's burning ambition and his intense thoughtfulness. His Macbeth isn't talked into anything by anybody. As a result, his eagerness to believe whatever the wayward sisters tell him is almost chilling: it's a bit frightening (though resonant) to see a smart powerful man embrace the supernatural just because it seems to serve his own cause so thoroughly.
The WorkShop Theater gives a cheerful alternative to bombast or treacle in these two charming adaptations...genuinely amusing and fine versions of holiday classics to enjoy and celebrate...all in all, these are captivating Christmas tales, comfortable and worthwhile to curl up with and well done by the Workshop Theater Company.
