My overall impression

Stabilized Not Controlled is a one-man roller coaster of a show! Frank Blocker’s timing, humor and turn of phrase as a writer are exquisite. As an actor? You almost worry about the mastery with which he embodies each of his characters. Because no sane person could inhabit such different personalities so completely as to bring them so fully to life. Thank God for his insanity!! He dances forth and back and back and forth among them so seamlessly telling a story of New York that one leaves wanting to live and feeling like they already have. And maybe grab a gin & tonic and a nosh at a dive bar with Lorna Breedlove- one of my favorites of the 18 characters Blocker introduces!! It was a truly wonderful evening at the theatre!
