Times Description

On paper, this interactive theater piece where we talk back to various controversial 20th century figures sounds like a gimmick. On stage, it delivers a uniquely enjoyable and invigorating experience, courtesy of the amazing concentration of a rotating cast and the variables supplied by any given audience.

    I have now seen this play twice, with plans to attend again. Every performance is unique due to the interactive nature of the format. I love to see what the audience will do and say and how the characters on stage will react. It is interesting, funny and informative to...

    "SO FUN!!!"

    Posted by naughtydogg on 06/23/2009
     

    I loved this. Went into it not knowing what to expect at all. It's irreverent, provocative, and genuinely funny. There were times when I was experiencing a type of excitement for the actors that I haven't felt before in a performance. It's a nice blend of improv, comedy, drama, and...

    I am not one to see plays, no matter how god, more than once. However this one is so amazingly unique that I feel like I must see it again-and again after that. The actors are incredibly talented with an ability to handle an incredibly engaged and interactive crowd. It...

    We were very entertained. Most impressed by the actors' ability to think on their feet and engage the audience yet maintain structure to the performances. Was also interesting to see how some people could become immersed in the period being portrayed and how some could only apply the view of...

    "ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC"

    Posted by cottage on 11/02/2008
     

    You will not regret going to see this fantastic play about the Private Lives of THESE 20th century figures. This talented cast delivers characters that are hilarious, courageous, ballsy, politically incorrect (though historically correct), pathetic and mystical. In particular, Maddisen Krown's portrayal of Jane Roberts is breathtaking. From the moment...
