Deliciously Dark & SOOOO much fun!
With a Tarantino-like flavor, Benjamin Schwartz' dialogue is wonderfully crisp & smart -- brimming with detail. Paired with a strong cast of seedy characters who you never want to run into -- this is a night of theatre you don't want to miss! SEE IT!! ...

Love LOve LOVED IT!!!
Twas a breath of fresh Shakepearean air. YAY!

Performing the Bard since I was 6 & diving into his works as soon as I was old enough to read-- tis very hard to find a quality production of Shakespeare in this town. Usually either the actors don't understand what they are saying OR ...

LOVED THIS!!
To be honest -- from the moment I heard the title, I knew I was gonna see this show. And the performance was just as good, if not better!
So incredibly heartfelt & funny -- Skalsky's retelling of his life experiences is genuine & sooo refreshing. He had both me & my husband laughing from start to finish. No need for any fancy bells & whistles, just him. A definite MUST SEE in my book! :) ...

Adorable & SOOOOOOOO FUN!
If you love Old Hollywood, you will LOVE THIS! Julissa taps into the very essence of the silent era w/grace & ease. As an audience member, I just couldn't help but fall in love with her main character as she interacts with a number of seedy yet fascinating individuals. See this!...
