This play is just a hoot, and not just for those who've been in "this town" long enough to remember the days of the Thomas Guide, answering services and Hamburger Hamlet being the place to be. Yes, the Hollywood industry insider jokes are in there, but even my brother-in-law (a bonafide show biz civilian) found it hysterical. And what a delicious treat to see four brilliant actresses deliver the wickedly funny lines of Stan Zimmerman and Christian McLaughlin with such panache! Daniele Gaither, Teresa Ganzel, Vicky Lewis and Carolyn Hennesy are just spot on in their delivery and squeezing the heck out of four delightful characters. I could go on and on about how each of these ladies are a-mah-zing, but let's just say this is one priceless ens...

One of the freshest and funniest shows about what it's like for actresses of a certain age to compete for the same part in a TV show. It is full of great inside Hollywood jokes and the 4 actresses all shined in their individual roles. In a play with 4 strong roles it's usually one of the 4 who outshine the others, but not in this case. Each of the 4 actresses shined on their own and bounced well off the others!The one who tied it all together, the office assistant, (Paul Iacono) added a biting humor to the story. And if that wasn't good enough I got to see SHIRLEY MACLAINE in the audience! Great show! I think they are having an encore performance in July! Lots of fun!...

It’s a story as old as Hollywood. Four very different actresses are up for the same role as lead of a network television show: Margo, the classically-trained theatre legend; loose cannon/cautionary tale Belinda, beloved airhead and bombshell Teresa, and rising trashy reality star Desiree in the mold of NeNe Leakes. Each woman has her own reasons for desperately needing the job, despite the fact that the part they are fighting for is a turd – a silly over-sexed cartoon character of a role that the actresses note is clearly written by a man.
The show is extremely well-cast, with most of the roles suiting the actors perfectly...

"Meet and Greet” is pure theatre gold - expertly written and performed so that we can laugh out loud at the absurdities of life and human nature - through the eyes of 4 diva actresses! The attention to every detail in this production, along with the sheer fragility of each ego portrayed on stage, make this a truly fun unveiling of what can happen inside Hollywood auditions.
The dialogue is sharp, the situation hilarious, and the performances so comedically rich. The performers are 4 real accomplished actresses (and 1 very supportive actor) in all their womanly glory, gloriously playing together. The interpersonal fireworks they create by committing so fully to their characters are a trip to say the least. Be sure to catch this show - ...
