Even before the playwright pays homage to William S. Burrough's "Naked Lunch" through this last line, one is already drawing comparisons to the psychotic, structureless existence of that nov…
Additional credit can be given to Simon and Wolkowitz's performances by the excellent supporting cast and Einhorn's writing. The script's one weakness appears to be an insistence on providin…
Employing an impressive array of voices and mannerisms, and only sometimes augmented with a wig or article of clothing, Miller as "Narrator" impersonates numerous performers, personalities, …

Houses on the Moon Theater Company's delightful and earnest mission is to "dispel ignorance and isolation through the theatrical amplification of unheard voices." "The Santa Closet," another…
"The Giant Hoax" is a charming morality tale about telling the truth and growing up. The expert hands of director Christopher Michaels and choreographer Molly Model are clearly at work in al…
Political plots can be dry as toast. Hatem attempts to spice things up by crossing the genders of the actors playing Carter and young Cynthia; the convention is an interesting choice althoug…
Vieh's script is extremely clever in its telling two sides of a story completely by separate monologues. The dialogue is real and yet extremely funny, never revealing too much, allowing the …
Rocky execution aside, the play is not without humor, imagination, charm and whimsy, and the same can be said about the designs by Jessie Bonaventure (scenic), Johanna Pan (costumes), Kelley…
Both Moran and his script are disarming, captivating, touching, and thought-provoking. The audience cranes to hear his every truth-packed word, feeling his moments of joy and triumph as well…

Alexandro and Ben-Victor as the soul-stained detectives are excellently cast, playing off each other without a single misstep. The gender-blind casting of Alexandro as Jack is especially fun…
The evening's vocal guests are exceptionally strong singers, although their talents are not equally evident in a concert format. Silverman probably shines best in a book show, as well as Osn…
