Couples

The evening is very entertaining. For those who have never experienced Rich Orloff's work, COUPLES is an outstanding place to begin.


The Guest at Central Park West

About The Guest at Central Park West, Julie Colthorpe of Show Business Weekly (Read the whole review) said:

A high-tension drama that slowly unravels itself like a tightly wound ball of string...With superb performances and strong direction, [it] is a play that pushes all the right buttons with powerful political and social messages concerning the U.S. and its impact on the rest of the world.


The Guest at Central Park West

About The Guest at Central Park West, Lisa Jo Sagolla of Back Stage (Read the whole review) said:

A well-constructed drama...Simon's play, directed by Thomas Coté, hits all the right notes...a scrumptious set designed by Craig Napoliello...startling conflicts and frightening revelations...John Marshall Jones is sensational...Jed Dickson is spot-on...with her poignantly comic portrayal of the drunken Jennifer, it's Tracy Newirth who steals our hearts.


The Blue Carbuncle with Sherlock Holmes & The Gift of the Magi

About The Blue Carbuncle with Sherlock Holmes & The Gift of the Magi, Nancy Ellen Shore of Back Stage (Critic's Pick) (Read the whole review) said:

I sincerely hope theatregoers will find time to enjoy this delightful offering...it overflows with the true spirit of the season...cleverly adapted by Andrew Joffe and imaginatively staged by Kathleen Brant...complete with jubilant carolers and a street-corner violinist...with a talented 12-member ensemble in a prelude of eight contemporary holiday songs, arranged and directed by Jeffrey Buchsbaum.


Heartstring quartet

About French Kisses 2007, Deborah S. Greenhut of oobr.com (Off-Off Broadway Review) (Read the whole review) said:

Workshop Theater Company offered this varied quartet of short plays exploring love connections from unconventional perspectives, including the notion that "[s]ometimes it doesn't work. And that can be the end of it." The walls the characters erected or discovered offered interesting challenges and diverse outcomes. French Kisses II included the reprise of four comedies developed by Workshop Theater for presentation at the Samuel French Off-Off Broadway Short Play Festival.
