The Joe & Joshua Show! (2018 Edition)

julius galacki · June 16, 2018 certified reviewer
A little rap, a little dance and a lot of comedy. These two guys have great timing and really work well (verbally) bouncing off of each other. This is the kind of show that really works in a Fringe festival. The only thing on stage are the two guys and some sound equipment.... full review

Magnum Opus Theatre Presents

julius galacki · June 29, 2014 uncertified reviewer
First let me say that I'm usually a comedy-drama kind of guy where characters are real and one believes in the emotional truth of those characters.

Lost Moon Radio presents Roger Wodehouse's Androgymnasium

julius galacki · June 28, 2013 certified reviewer
Clever, witty send-up of a David Bowie-like Glam rocker doing a Mr. Rogers like TV show. The style of the songs is so spot on, one would think some lost tapes from the Ziggy Stardust album have been found, i.e. until one listens carefully to the lyrics. ... full review

BEFORE A FALL

julius galacki · June 27, 2013 uncertified reviewer
Very well directed, well acted piece. As for the writing, this is the kind of topic that could easily have been pat, unsurprising and painful to sit through, however, not only are the characters specific and not generic, but moreover it is structured in such a way as to create just enough tension and mystery to heighten interest while still giving room for the questions of moral responsibility that the play is most interested in.... full review
