small PARTS

Richard Tanner is a diamond in the rough, an enormously talented, hilarious human who puts it all together with pathos and panache in SMALL PARTS. There were no dull moments, and all of the working parts (both literal and figurative) wove together exquisitely. It was just a sublimely entertaining night of theatre that my wife and I enjoyed immensely. Bravo! More of this Richard Tanner, please. And how about some BIG parts next time?... full review

Wonderful! Should be required viewing for all those high school stage-stars hoping to go to the big city and make it big.... full review

Richard Tanner managed to be funny, evocative, and deeply personal all while avoiding indulgence.... full review

Terrific show. If you are not an actor, you will find it funny, enlightening, fast moving and interesting. If you ARE an actor, you will find it all of the above, but also painful at times, very moving a lot of the time, and relatable all the time. It's definitely a good way to spend 70 minutes. ... full review

Richard Tanner's evening is just great ! He's beautifully intelligent, funny, quick, smart, warm, witty, and so much more. It would be great to see someone with his talent as writer and actor have his own show on television. What fun it would be to see his rich imagination at work every week. Small Parts is a must see. This is theatre at its very best. Go, by all means, GO!!! George Chakiris ... full review

I most enjoyable show. Richard Tanner is so brilliant in his sharing of his life as an actor and we are caught up in the story of his struggle to succeed. The play has humor, drama and wonderful sound and power point. All Fine Arts people will relate to what Richard has experienced and his wit and insight makes it all so real. I am so glad I went. ... full review

This show should be required viewing for all actors. What a world Richard Tanner paints in this impressive show. And while the show is extremely funny, it also illuminates the trails and tribulations of pursing a career in show biz! Do add it to your must-see list. I'm not an actor and I found the show enthralling. What a story.........and it's all true! ... full review

For me, this show was a must see and I was not disappointed. At all. Ever. Small Parts is an hilarious and harrowing love letter to the entertainment industry and, as with all great love stories, it has it's fair share of tragedies, break ups, highs, lows and reconciliations. Richard Tanner gives us everything he has in this absolutely amazing show and he gives it all with charm, grace and brilliant comic timing. Doesn't matter what industry you work in, you'll recognize aspects of yourself in Tanners' portrayal of his own passions and obsessions. Five stars. ... full review
