Two Doors Theatre: Ensemble Studio Theatre Marathon of One Act Plays
http://twodoorstheatre.blogspot.com/2008/06/ensemble-studio-theatre-marathon-of-one.html
Flagging theatre from coast to coast. Monday, June 23, 2008. Ensemble Studio Theatre Marathon of One Act Plays. Another thing that I noted was the creaky, slow, small elevator, the tepid cough from the air conditioning unit, the cramped seating arrangements, and that big pillar which runs right through their second floor theatre. It was after this play that the intermission took hold. It was almost 105 minutes in! I do hope for the reinvention of the Ensemble Studio Theatre; I imagine a day when I can re...

Two Doors Theatre: "Nothing But Trash" at Theatre for the New City
http://twodoorstheatre.blogspot.com/2014/03/nothing-but-trash-at-theatre-for-new.html
Flagging theatre from coast to coast. Saturday, March 15, 2014. Nothing But Trash" at Theatre for the New City. When I went out tonight to see “ Nothing But Trash. However this lurid tale of forbidden love was a great time and something that everyone who’s able should make it up to see. Love can blindside you and usually takes your breath away. Love can be simple and love can be kind; love can be rigorous and love can be consuming. Even when it’s hazy and does all these things love can also...8221; conti...

Two Doors Theatre: No More Waiting: A New Musical Comedy
http://twodoorstheatre.blogspot.com/2008/06/no-more-waiting-new-musical-comedy.html
Flagging theatre from coast to coast. Monday, June 23, 2008. No More Waiting: A New Musical Comedy. Musical Comedy With Legs and Arms Reaching. There is definitely something to be said for a good ending. Once the scenes got going, they reminded me often of a recurring vision of Patti LuPone to Peter Gallagher in the recent revival of “Noises Off” – “We’re putting on a show! We’re putting on a show! 8221; There was bedlam after the waitering crew decides they are going to perform this night. The scene...

Two Doors Theatre: Little Velvet Square: "Almost an Evening" Touches That Tender Little Spot...Almost

Flagging theatre from coast to coast. Sunday, April 20, 2008. Little Velvet Square: "Almost an Evening" Touches That Tender Little Spot.Almost. Feeling Around With A Little Velvet Square:. And on and on it goes. Perhaps the description of this closing piece “Debate,” from the playwright himself could have better prepared us for this circuitousness when in the playbill we are warned: “Cosmic questions are taken up. Not much is learned.”. But my tone is all off because the acting was great! I get it that M...

Two Doors Theatre: February 2008
http://twodoorstheatre.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Flagging theatre from coast to coast. Saturday, February 9, 2008. Perhaps it was the fact that, as Mr. Robbins, the artistic director, says in the liner notes “The play you will see tonight is the same play (which premiered in 1987). Except for one line referencing our current war in the first scene the play is unchanged.” Why would this be a problem? Is that all there is? We’re an educated group that goes to the theatre; what you’re telling us as an audience is that we don’t deserve an...More to the poi...

Their show, "Something's Got Ahold of My Heart," now playing at La MaMa on the Lower East Side. Was one I recently got to go check out. This show is regarded as an epic in their press materials; it:.

Flagging theatre from coast to coast. Wednesday, April 30, 2008. A Candid Interview with Alex Lyras, Star of The Common Air. Picking the brain of the versatile solo performer. Is as direct as they come. His handshake is firm, but easy, his temperament is relaxed, yet forward leaning, his message is direct, but coded. Alex Lyras. Is a performer. Artist. Actor. But he also has a very sensitive ear for things: words, inflection, intention. Alex Lyras. This is the world that we live in and Mr. Lyras. Is fron...

Two Doors Theatre: October 2008
http://twodoorstheatre.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Flagging theatre from coast to coast. Saturday, October 18, 2008. It’s no small coincidence that the stock market is plunging, the war is ongoing, and the scathing critiques of the current administration are all coming to a head currently. Two examples which stood out to me occurred at the beginning and the very end; “It’s Been A Bad Eight Years,” and “The American Dream.” During “…Eight Years,” there was a startling photo montage which came up along th...The American Dream is faith in the future; The Am...
