A Madhouse
In Goa
By Martin Sherman / Directed by Nicholas
Martin
With Denise Faye, Daniel Gerroll, Judith
Ivey, Mark Kevin Lewis, Rick Stear, Russ Thacker
Sets by James Noone, Costumes by Michael
Krass, Lighting by Frances Aronson, Sound by Kurt B. Kellenberger,
Production Stage Manager Leila Knox, Stage Manager Delicia Turner,
Press Representative Richard Kornberg, Casting by Johnson-Liff
Associates
Originally produced at the Lyric Hammersmith
Theatre in London on August 28, 1989.
"Judith Ivey delivers a tour de force
performance."
— Jacques le Sourd, Gannett Newspapers
"A fascinating reflection on politics,
art and truth."
— Fintan O'Toole, Daily News
"Pushy, drawling, grating, tangy,
challenging, chastened, and laced with grief, Judith Ivey runs away
with the first act. Martin Sherman has given this character an
irreverent wit and gift for truth telling that wash over us like a
refreshing wave."
— Francine Russo, The Village Voice
Flawless cast, deft direction."
— Sam Whitehead, Time Out New York

2 Pianos, 4
Hands
By Ted Dykstra and Richard Greenblatt /
Directed by Gloria Muzio
At the Promenade Theatre
"A hot ticket. Performers Ted Dykstra
and Richard Greenblatt tickle both the ivories and considerable
laughter in their delightful semi-autobiographical comedy about
growing up with classical music. A major coast-to-coast success in
Canada, their irresistible two-man show deserves to be a big hit
here, too. Crisply directed by Gloria Muzio, and enhanced by
sensitive lighting from Tharon Musser, Two Pianos, Four Hands
is performed with style and no small amount of grace."
— Michael Sommers, The Star-Ledger

Ricky Jay
& His 52 Assistants
Written and performed by Ricky Jay / Directed
by David Mamet
Set by Kevin Rigdon, Lighting by Jules
Fisher, Production Stage Manager Matthew Silver, Press Representative
Richard Kornberg, Costume by Alan Bilzerian
Sponsored in part by AT&T Foundation.
"Ricky Jay is a genius. A glorious and
grand illusion."
— Clive Barnes, New York Post
"Enthralling. Tickets to this already
sold-out show have become the most coveted in town. One has the
feeling of being less in a theater than in the apartment of a new,
mildly eccentric friend who has brought you up to demonstrate aspects
of a beloved hobby. The wall between performer and audience seems
truly nonexistent."
— Ben Brantley, The New York Times
"Dextrous, funny and entirely elegent.
If wonder is truly the beginning of wisdom, then Ricky Jay &
His 52 Assistants is the smartest show in town."
— Jay Cocks, Time Magazine
"To say Ricky Jay has an 'ability to
control cards,' …is like saying Horowitz had a knack for
pressing piano keys real fast or Baryshnikov has an ability to
control his body. Virtuosity - the general article - goes so far
beyond mechanics and nerve connections that technical considerations
are inseparable from those of beauty."
— Linda Winer, Newsday

"A talented writer and a powerhouse
performer."
— Sam Whitehead, Time Out New York
"Loh has an engaging presence. She is
attractive, personable and expressively witty. Her big-city savvy
says it all."
— Robert L. Daniels, Variety
"Loh is an aggressively funny chronicler
of the wounded pride. Her phrases are frequently delicious, and her
stories so well observed that at times they are riotously
funny."
— Laurie Winer, Los Angeles Times
