Lost In Space ! See It before It is Gone!!!

by http://lilysuda.com

The most mind opening theater experience I have had is with “Whitelisted Theater”. Each time I go there I leave in an amazement of their shows. The shows are master pieces brought from Europe to America. America has a great new adventure ahead of them as they welcome “Whitelisted Theater”. “Lost in Space” did create an adventure you will never forget.

The actors who bring these characters to life are outstanding. They are able to transform a stage into a Word War II war zone. You will be watching this transformation in awe of every surprise. Each part of the play takes you on a ride through a different character’s perspective. You get to experience World War II like you never have before, through the eyes of these survivors. They must choose to go through a whirl wind just to live. They must decide is it worth it to live in hiding?

You will see this breath-taking transformation from each character and see the beginning of “WhiteListed Theaters” journey into NYC theater. So go see Lost in Space before it is too late? It is running now untill April 6 at The Producers Club Manhattan.

"Belgrade Trilogy" at the 4th Street Theatre

by http://www.theatrereviews.com

Being able to see and review “Belgrade Trilogy” was an important event for me. This review will be more personal than any that I have written. Normally, critical reviews are written in the third person and the critic keeps professional distance from the performance being reviewed. It is difficult to keep that distance after visiting Belgrade and driving through war-torn streets of Serbia and Croatia.

The Hurtling Stillness Season 2014-2015

Tragic, disorienting, and darkly funny, this work comprises six vignettes that muse on such themes as jealousy, despair, sex, irony, and existentialist philosophy.

A brilliant play from an equally brilliant artist, will unsettle its audiences and resonate long beyond the final curtain.

by New York Theatre Wire

"Ensemble acting is a joy to see and hear especially when it's bringing life to a well written script. You can tell when actors have respect for each other's craft, they give each other space to perform. In fact when I do attend a play where there is that kind of supremely strong interaction I feel like I too am on stage, in the midst of art unfolding. " By Larry Litt

TheaterMania reviewers give 'Lost In Space' 5 Stars!

"What a phenomenal show. I could not look away. The script, actors and incredible set design and music made me believe that I was in the bunker with the characters. At times I almost felt claustrophobic. I felt the war, I felt the tension, I felt I was with them during the war. The actor playing Otto was phenomenal. He clearly illustrated the difference between European and American acting. His emotions changed from moment to moment and he took just the right amount of time for each beat (phenomenal acting or direction, I do not know). the use of the sand was ingenious. Something so simple helped make the set believable Bravo to all involved" ~ SarahJ
