Review: METEOR is made of all-natural ham
Juicy bits:
I was so impressed by the genuine light-heartedness of their spontaneous creations, I actually managed to surrender to the ride. Natural hams… these three comics made the most of nothing and proved to be at their best when the strains of managing the story-line reached the weirdest levels of absurd… and the packed crowd at the Petit Campus stage loved every minute of it.
I saw Poison The Well on Saturday, and immediately decided it would win the Chapters award for Best Text. Poison The Well is a gripping thriller—emotionally-charged and full of surprises. Hey, there are even a few laughs thrown in to break the tension.

A bunch of us went to go see 7 (X1) Samurai at MAI last night. I was excited to see David Gaines’s one-man rendition of the classic Japanese movie “Seven Samurai” after I watched the 90 second trailer and it did not disappoint. Gaines is a seasoned and talented physical performer and it was a pleasure to see him switching between characters and establishing whole landscapes with just his fingers and some sound effects. Although the majority of the play is spoken in a sort-of gibberish Japanese, the actions and characters are supremely clear, which is a testament to Gaines’s presence and precision.
