30 Minute Musicals: SHOWGIRLS & JURASSIC PARK

taylor coffman · June 15, 2012
SO FUN! don't miss it. I am a huge fan of action movies translated to the stage on low-budgets and this didn't disappoint. It knows EXACTLY what it is- and the camp is hilarious. Very funny performances make this smart and charming piece shine!... full review

Clowns, Goddesses & Tough Guys

anonymous · June 15, 2012
Rambling and unfunny - this show added nothing to my understanding of the human race, let alone celebrity - probably due to its hap hazard structure (the author mentioned that he had just thrown the show together ) the author portrays himself as the kind of individual who disses his wife without supplying a reason and complains about a star who won't get off his deathbed to give him an autograph.

Oh But Wait, There's More!

It was really funny. We enjoyed it very much. The only disappointing thing was it was shorter than expected. It only ran for less than 1 hour. ... full review

The Nina Variations

anonymous · June 14, 2012
A fast paced exploration of the dynamics of the relationship between the lover and the loved one who loves another, complicated by the fact that the lover is the writer and the other his lead actress. That each of the variations is derived from the same scene from Chekhov is an oversimplification as there is little of the repetitiveness that I expected. Instead there is a slow accretion of knowledge as more is revealed about each character. In the original both characters are played th... full review
