MISSION TO MATE

I really enjoyed the flow of the 3 pieces from one to the next. It kept me engaged throughout and I also thought the acting was awesome! : )... full review

This was a last minute pick for me while I was already seeing other productions and had a little down time, but it sounded interesting so I decided to check it out. The play was performed in three movements. I wasn't exactly sure what I was experiencing in the first one, it was a little awkward and disjointed and I couldn't tell if I was supposed to laugh or be moved - I don't really think I was either. But throughout the play the outstanding performance of Alla Poberesky kept me engaged and wanting more. By the end of the third movement I was kind of glad it was over, but still felt like Alla saved the production. Maybe it just needs a little polishing, but I'd be willing to check it out again and I'd definitely watch for Alla ... full review

Pure theatrical foreplay, Mitchell's three movements teased and enticed and left me feeling all hot and bothered. Seriously. It was a sensation built throughout the production, and not fully realized until I left the theatre for the light of day, but sex was there in all of it's awkward, funny, over-powering glory. Alla Poberesky's husky voice lends to a commanding and sensuous performance, which was pleasantly grounded by Michael Sanchez' candid dweebiness in an overall sharply-written, strongly acted production. ... full review

This was a solid production. Congrats guys! Though I have to warn the audience to prepare for an hour of 3 dominating woman characters played by the same dominating actress and 3 submissive and apologetic males played by the same downplayed actor. This doesn't necessarily destroy the enjoyment but it makes the balance noticably off. I do wonder if what I saw was one play or three seperate plays. The first two male chatacters did have an eerie relation to each other but maybe there was some connection I missed. Were they the same? I'm still scratching my head a bit - which isn't a bad thing. The female lead though never subtle was clearly a powerhouse of her craft. Sorta like a female Al Pacino - with a better bod but the same husky ... full review

Colin Mitchell's Mission to Mate is a dynamic, well-acted, well-timed and thought provoking production. The mood changes with each piece — from heavy, to light, to a combination of both. This play is made up of three movements, with each actor portraying a different character in each piece. Michael Sanchez does a solid job as the three male leads. The male characters may be more understated than the female ones, but Sanchez's talent is clearly evident. Alla Poberesky is the female lead. She is an electric performer, expertly portraying three characters who are each a different mix of intensely vulnerable, sexy, awkward, and domineering. Poberesky is definitely an actor to watch for. Each movement made me feel different things. I ... full review
