No more antagonism

That last post was entirely too over-the-top (thank you for the comment all the same, Christian). So I figure, lighter fare from now on. Unless someone riles me again. Whoo boy.

Anyway, my selfish intentions were actually to post links to the reviews for my show, and once I take some time to figure it out, I'll even post a picture of the show up here. It's quite good.

Here are some reviews:

Jeff Recommended (the Chicago Tony’s)

Hedy Weiss, Chicago Sun-Times:

"To get straight to the point: Circle Theatre’s revival of Design for Living…is sensational on every level."

Kerry Reid, Chicago Tribune:

“Coward's dizzying repartee and discursive discussions of art, commerce, science, love, marriage (and the many reasons to avoid it) bubble and pop like a firecracker in a bowl of champagne punch.”

Fabrizio O. Almeida, New City Chicago, Tip of the Week:

“From the elegant setting to the sparkling and dapper costumes to the persnickety mannerisms, every physical aspect contributes to the production's polished veneer.”

Tom Williams, Chicagocritic.com:

“The comedic timing and chemistry between Lund and Schoeny was smooth and real. These two were terrific…”

Ed Vincent, Oak Park Journal:

“The production is a fine tribute to the pen of Noel Coward and does break most of 10 Commandments, sans murder.”

Wednesday Journal of Oak Park and River Forest:

“He presents us with a glossy production that’s neither a mummified museum piece nor a dumbed-down sitcom. [Director Jim] Schneider recreates the era of double intermissions and double entendre with spirit and panache.”

Scott C. Morgan, Windy City Times:

“Circle Theatre’s Design for Living is filled with plenty of skillful fun and full of food for thought.”

Jenn Goddu, Chicago Reader:

“The show bristles with energy, and Jim Schneider's staging ends up coming together smartly…”

Hope everyone is well, come to our house for Thanksgiving dinner on Nov. 19th! (I have a show that night, so I'll be MIA from 6 pm - 10 pm) But otherwise, it's the best party of the year (except for maybe Brent and John's upcoming post-Thanksgiving bash).
