Other
new reviews at offoffonline include:
Ordinary
People, an adaption of the classic
Oscar Award winning story of Conrad Jarrett presented by
Nicu's Spoon theater company. A multi-ethnic cast intensifies
the irony of the play’s title and begs the question,
“how can one be ‘ordinary’ in a world that
defies normalcy?”
Pub,
a one man theater production, written, performed, produced,
and directed by Joe Lazenby. It is about a family owned
business, a father/son relationship, and the relationship
the father and son have to the business.
Sex*But,
inspired by Chapter 8 ("Male Homosexuality") from
Dr. David Rubin's famous 1969 book Everything You Always
Wanted to Know About Sex *But Were Afraid to Ask.
The
Interlude, a multimedia theater piece
by Kim Ima that uses dance, music, documentary photography,
and video imagery to create a collage of her father's experiences
in a Japanese internment camp during World War II.
Reviews that have been revised and deserve another look:
Howlin'
at the Moon, a new country/rock musical
by veteran film and TV actor Madison Mason about a veteran
rock star back on the road, trying to rectify his broken
past.
Nice
Guys Finish..., a new play by Eric
Alter that takes a humorous and heartfelt look at relationships
and dating rituals in New York City.
