by David Friscic - Jan 16, 2025

The solo show Out of Character (now being produced as a joint production between Theater J and the Mosaic Theater) introduces us to the talented Tony award -winning actor and vocalist Ari’el Stachel (Broadway’s The Band’s Visit) ---Mr. Stachel also wrote this performance piece. The first part of this solo show portrays Mr. Stachel as a successful actor and musical performer (with a thrilling and evocative voice). As an upstage projection is shown, Mr. Stachel’s nuanced acting style is on full throttle as we witness him winning his Tony Award ----only to plunge into the depths of his anxiety and obsessive -compulsive disorder.
