Absorbing, Clever, Great writing, Great acting

See it if You'd enjoy an 85 minute comedy/drama that flies by with superb acting & a "twist" towards the end. Free sunflower seeds or honey too.

Don't see it if You don't like shows with Broadway stars in them.

Absorbing, Great acting, Intelligent, Intense

See it if All three actors were excellent. The play was well written and engrossing. Set was simple but perfect. Didn't need anything more elaborate

Don't see it if If you want Broadway. This is a very small, intimate theater in the East Village. Very satisfying theater experience.

Great acting, Great writing

See it if Solidly written, solidly acted in a small space so you are right there “living” the story in all the right ways.

Don't see it if You are not good with drama’s performed at a high pitch with you as part of the room

Absorbing, Great acting, Great writing, Resonant, Relevant

See it if you want to see the very talented cast using the high quality writing and direction given them to the best advantage of the show.

Don't see it if small shows attacking corporate greed and insensitivity seem unAmerican to you. Read more

Great writing, Edgy, Great staging, Clever, Intelligent

See it if you'd like to spend an entertaining time in a trailer with 3 characters, except for a couple minutes mimed outside of it, in a twisted tale.

Don't see it if you do not like rough language argumentative or immoral characters.

Reflections in the Light
November 8th, 2018

"Playwright Adam Seidel crafts a nifty three-hander where everything and everyone is not as it seems...Deftly directed by Valentina Fratti, the actors are given the freedom to unwrap layers...Grimes goes deep as the seasoned woman who knows how to hold her own and get ahead in a man's world...LuPone portrays a tough guy on the outside, but stuns with the revelation of a scared vulnerable man just under the surface. Ledbetter strikes a nice balance."

“Skillfully constructed...Fratti gave the actors room...to show us not only the complexity of their relationships but also key moments in their characters...You’ll be drawn into the piece through its humor and Seidel’s well-delineated dialogue, building characters quickly..Here, in this tiny space where nothing can be hidden or faked, is a celebration of the art of telling a small story with a big emotional message through excellent acting of a terrific script.”
