Meticulously constructed... high-quality entertainment.  A wildly humorous pastiche (using) vaudevillian, Chaplinesque and commedia dell'arte techniques. 

The Austin American Statesman

The absolute beauty of this production is that it embraces theater in this purest fashion -- actor, passion and some light.  You are in for a treat...

Scranton Times

 

The physical comedy of the play - a goofy keystone cop chasing a criminal, a trick reclining chair that dumps people on the floor - gives it a unique, vintage charm.

Times-Leader

...reminiscent of a Charlie Chaplin movie: lots of humor, sometimes slapstick, played with an underlying gentle and intelligent sensibility.  I found myself belly laughing --- the kind of good deep laugh that sustains us long after we have stopped laughing --- the kind of laugh that makes us feel... well... better about things.
