i'm in love with this play. other people seem to like it allright too:
GO! "With a nod to the absurdist canon, and perhaps Lewis Carroll, Schwartz's use of cliches, idiom and chatter is at times brilliant and funny.." Lovell Estell III, LA Weekly

"Director Rory Kozoll skillfully brings out every bit of dark humor...Dietze is remarkable... Grano gives a powerhouse performance...Karsian delivers...Shranko is delightful... Blendell is swell...[and] an amazing Amanda Saunders."
Jennie Webb, Backstage

"An appealing cast, under the direction of Rory Kozoll, emphasizes the plays capricious charm..."
Charles McNulty, LA Times

"Amanda Saunders plays the mother. It says much about Saunders' talent that from under her cool mask peeps a playful apology for her lack of connection to her family. As the miserable daughter, Alana Dietze does not pout or cry, brilliantly pushing the boundaries of restraint. Andrea Grano in a perfectly luscious comic turn positioned to buoy the show through its darkest waters. Jeremy Shranko, Tara Karsian and Troy Blendell flesh out other characters, fantastic and prosaic and all of them very well played. An absurd, postmodern landscape that manages to remain coherent? In the third millennium? In Los Angeles? It's an event. And when such a play is directed with economy and grace, it's cause for celebration."

a while back i helped out some friends (Hugo Armstrong and Daniel Martinico) with a quirkly little film project they were doing. it was a sort of "mockumentary" about an actor's life that turns very dark. i participated as part of a fictional movement workshop that the lead character attends. the project became "OK, Good" -- an official selection of this year's Slamdance film festival! here's a great review of the  finished film http://www.hammertonail.com/reviews/ok-good-film-review/
and i even made it into the picture!
