At TCG (my goodly employer) yesterday, we posted this call to action on the proposed cuts/zeroing of the NEA in the FY11 budget. The post inspired the goodly David J.

(Photo: Isaiah Tanenbaum. Pictured: Lori E. Parquet, Chris Wight) Will Kenton’s review is up at Cultural Capitol! As you may recall, I appreciated the wider angle he brought to his Jacob’s House review, and he brings the same insights to the this review, perhaps best exemplified by this great quote: The play is a riff…
(Photo: Isaiah Tanenbaum. Pictured: Liz Douglas, Becky Byers) Karen Tortora-Lee’s review is out at The Happiest Medium!

(Photo: Isaiah Tanenbaum. Pictured: Chris Wight, Lori E. Parquet) Aaron Grunfeld returns to Flux for his Metromix review: the last (and only) time he reviewed us was for Pretty Theft, and I was especially interested his structural questions regarding the middle of the play (after many months, I think the decisive factor was our inability…
(Photo: Isaiah Tanenbaum. Pictured: Lori E. Parquet, Becky Byers, Liz Douglas) Will Fulton’s review for nytheatre.com is out.

(Photo: Isaiah Tanenbaum. Pictured: Lori E. Parquet, Becky Byers) Wendy Caster’s review is up at Show Showdown, and it is a moving one, especially as I read it next to the image of Patrick Lee.

(Photo: Isaiah Tanenbaum. Pictured: Julian Stetkevych, Zack Robidas) Our third review is out, as part of an anti-Spiderman round up from New York Magazine’s Scott Brown.

(Photo: Isaiah Tanenbaum. Pictured: Liz Douglas, Lori E. Parquet, Becky Byers, Chris Wight) Review #2 is out!
