U and Me and My Best Friend P

Abby Schachner is a dazzling storyteller with a magical mind and I absolutely LOVED this show. I won't endeavor to describe the events that took place when I saw her because Abby is so in-the-moment with her audience that I just know the show is a different kind of brilliant every time. I will simply say that you should all give yourself the gift of seeing this brilliant artist do what she does. ... full review

I loved this show! I hope it gets picked up for a longer run somewhere as it's simply delightful. Michelle Lema (Bean, herself) is a great writer and performer and Ashley Teague's direction was fabulous. If you hear tell of this show coming back, book your tickets - you'll have no regrets. ... full review

Lydia Trueblood: The Black Widow of the Atlantic Coast

[email protected] weier · June 15, 2014 certified reviewer
This show is truly fantastic! I so hope it goes on to live a larger life either with an extended run somewhere (I'll add that 3 clubs is the ideal venue) and/or that it gets developed into a full-length musical. It's witty and wonderfully well performed and it honestly could rival anything I saw teased on the Tonys last week... ... full review

The Interview

[email protected] weier · June 17, 2013 certified reviewer
In the interest of full disclosure, I read some early drafts of this play and I lent a partial hand in terms of casting and preproduction efforts, so Im not entirely unbiased, but I wholeheartedly recommend this play. The performances are great and the themes are compelling and timely. Great direction and great production value (sound, lighting and projection design is top notch.) It's smart theatre and perfect fringe fare. Go if ya can! ... full review

The Good Woman of Setzuan

[email protected] weier · June 21, 2010 uncertified reviewer
This is a beautifully realized production of Brecht's masterpiece about how difficult it is to be good in a world that seems to more frequently reward bad. The acting is top-notch all around, but Lauren Lovett in particular stands out. From the costumes (credit Christina Wright) to the music (credit Dean Mora) to the superb direction (credit Charlie Otte) this is Brecht done right. I highly recommend this show. ... full review
