MORE REVIEWS!

SEVENDAYS: In this week's issue of SevenDays Erik Esckilsen says of American Machine:

"... the play has an immense heart," "... compelling working-class agitprop drama," "... a mighty swing at a formidable topic."

He goes on to say that Seth Jarvis' portrayal of Ipsy is "touching" and one that shows us, "... that a single character, deeply explored and well-portrayed can speak movingly about the general 'us' by confronting the particularities of his individual condition."

Read the full review in this week's SevenDays.

VERMONT TIMES/SENTINEL: In an article about 'American Machine' actress Bridget Butler, Bill Wargo says she "... turns in a powerful performance as a Mrs-Robinson-like woman searching for love..." "Like Judi Dench and Susan Sarandon (two actresses whom she admires) Butler dominates the stage with her strong, direct attitude."

LOAD OUT VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

Now this is fun. Really. ... Our show ends Sunday night, probably around 8:00pm. I SO need a group of super volunteers at FlynnSpace to help take our set apart, load it on a truck, and then put it in storage. ... And that's it!

The last great effort of putting on a play is taking it all apart and making way for the next play. Can you imagine what would happen if the taking apart part didn't happen? Why there'd be pieces of play all over the stage, all the time, and wouldn't that be a mess!?

So e-back and let me know if you can volunteer some hours of your time Sunday night - we could sure use your help!

Come on, it'll be fun!

MEET ACTRESS TERESA LORENCO

Some folks have asked me, 'Who was that incredible actress in American Machine portraying a thirty-something single Latina mom?' ... Meet local actress Teresa Lorenco, a thirty-something single Latina mother of two who somehow finds time to sing, act, perform in Spielpalast Cabaret, record her own CD, and also be a mom to two great sons: Dylan and Forest (happy 10th birthday, Forest!) We were sure glad to find Teresa to portray 'Lona' in American Machine. ... Welcome Teresa!
