Ron Placone (he/him)

The Show Has Been Cancelled (Due to the End of the World) threads the needle between comedy, drama, and social commentary all wrapped in a bow of anti-capitalist sardonic catharsis. Think Hitchhiker's Guide meets a post-apocalyptic Catcher in the Rye with a burst of Italian Commedia Dell’Arte.... full review

Part David Lynch, part Lost, a little bit of cerebral and absurd, Unsweet Perdition embraces the weird, then pushes it further...Figuratively and literally, they used the entirety of the space. This play was a unique concept you don't see too often, which made it a breath of fresh...water?... full review

Hilarious, clever, each actor tears the roof of the place but the entire cast is generous. A wonderful ensemble where everything worked.... full review

Gleefully dark, hysterical, brave, daring, has a punk rock tinge of the early 00s that those straddling the GenX/Millennial line can really, really appreciate. This show grabs you immediately and doesn't let up until blackout. Leaves you wanting more.... full review

Funny, dark, clever, you get a deep dive into what it was like for Frank growing up in Argentina, coming to the states, and missteps along the way. You're on the journey with him but the humor is in abundance!... full review

Excellent storytelling, you'll laugh and want to get some more stamps on your passport! Mike breaks down his travels with anecdotal stories and some jokes for good measure. Reminded me of David Sedaris or even a bit of Henry Rollins when he was travel story heavy in the mid-00s.... full review

A raw and visceral dive into love and loss, pursuing the arts when coming from a less-than-supportive background, and mental health. The monologues flow and while the drama is intense, there’s a nice dose of self reflection and awareness for humor relief.... full review

A fun, absurd, and cerebral journey into Sarah’s mind, with guidance from Jennifer Coolidge and Bernie Sanders. It’s like a Gen Z Wizard of Oz with a killer soundtrack!... full review

Great improv, important topic, and valuable information. AP Sex Ed combines improv, edutainment, and history for a show that takes a deep dive into sex education in the US. You’ll laugh and be frustrated by the corporate-puritanical ways of our society all at the same time.... full review

An entertaining yet important and confrontational look at racism and bigotry in America. Di uses his personal story and history to give an accurate snapshot of the cultural landscape in the contemporary USA. This play pulls no punches, is very timely, and does not hold back on the brutal reality. This is what art should be right now.... full review
