Review: SHPIDER! at THE BRICK HOUSE THEATRE
Before seeing this show, I knew nothing of it besides a quite comedically tantalizing Instagram promo video and a snazzy 60’s referencing sci-fi movie poster. The script and plot however was as elusive as even the idea of a commonly puerile film executive attempting to write an exploitable and profitable, A-list silver screen-play hit written by a bunch of particularly un-talented and servile lackeys. And yet, SHPIDER! is as surprising a runaway hit as (spoiler) the comedy’s fantastical ending!

Review: CENTENNIAL CASTING at Penguin Rep Theatre
Mike Labbadia creates a larger-than-life Vincent whose slow burns, emotional outbursts, and comically hapless attempts at romance reminded me of Jackie Gleason as Ralph Kramden in seminal sitcom The Honeymooners. I mentioned the Gleason comparison to Mr. Labbadia after his performance. What I didn’t realize at that moment is that in the script, which I read later, the character breakdown for Vincent invokes “Ralph Kramden” and an authors’ note in the script references “The Honeymooners.”
