Vote for Tom Ryan: One Last Time!

Drew Petriello knows how to write a comedy!! One moment you're wrapped up in the genuine stakes of the election and the next, a character says something idiotic and reminds you where the show actually takes place. This writing cleverly poked fun at corruption in politics without feeling bleak or heavy-handed. Thomas Hollow came off as a naive, arrogant, yet likable presidential hopeful, which is quite hard to pull off! Reid Emmons was a comedic superstar in this play. I was cracking up anytime he was onstage doing his silly accent.... full review

It's taken me a long time to write this review, but that's actually because I found the show deeply affecting to me. I was not expecting to. But I had just been to my own college reunion and there was something about the "Our Town" esque third act of looking back and realizing that you and everyone you know turned out to be kind of lame that deeply touched me. ... full review

Absolutely obsessed with this show! The writing was incredibly clever, the concept unique, and the characters exceptionally funny. A story in three parts, they will take you on an absolute JOURNEY. I was laughing out loud for so much of this show - really really great humor. Sadly they’ve closed for fringe but if they come back I’d see it again!!... full review

Really great performances, lots of laughs, tightly written - all in all an enjoyable playful piece of theater that I was excited to return to after seeing act 1 at Fringe 2024!!... full review

West Wing wit and hometown heart collide for an intelligent look into what we're willing to lose in order to win...... full review

Just a masterclass in chemistry and character work and evolution from this team. Three chapters follow a saavy team of political leaders and thinkers as they work within and against the system--and with and against one another--in a study of power both short-term and long. Drew Petriello's dialogue crackles as always in the hands of a tremendously able cast and Brandon Karsh's clean and intense direction.... full review

Having seen act one of this piece two years ago, I was interested to see where Petriello's script would take us this time around, and it did not disappoint! I loved these goofy characters and following where the story took them. Really sharp, hilarious, oodles of fun, and surprisingly emotional by the end. I would Vote for Tom Ryan over and over again if I could!... full review
