Four Top
The Group Rep has done it again! Four Top, the new play by Michael B. Kaplan is a delightful romantic romp through the 20-somethings' struggle to fall in love, stay in love, and love the right person at the right time. Four Top is very, very clever and the characters are really well written. Each of these confused and quirky people are beautifully fleshed out by these fine actors and I found myself really engaged by this funny, fast-paced and brutally real story. Review>>

The Civil Twilight
What I found so fascinating about the play is that within the first few minutes, I thought I knew what was going on and how the story would proceed. But I was dead wrong. These characters morph and grow and change in such a subtle yet visceral way that in the end I felt almost betrayed by them. In the way that makes you catch your breath a little and think about the things and the people in your life that you really can’t count on at all.

The Piano Lesson
What incredible performances by these inventive, inspired actors. Such swagger, such grace, such a gorgeous sense of place and time and connection from each and every one of them.

They do so with passion and poise and a deep sense of knowing that can only be described as transcendental. Review>>

The Mousetrap
The performances are wonderful, heartfelt and genuine and the director’s lightest of touches bring out all the drama and give the actors the room they need to do a really excellent job! It’s all very tongue in cheek, although not at all campy. This is serious murder business…and Agatha Christie was the queen of the murder! Do yourself a favor and go see this lovely adaptation of the longest-running play in history…

Crevasse
It’s not an exaggeration when I tell you that Crevasse is one of the finest plays I have seen. It is absolutely extraordinary in fact, and Leo Marks and Ann Nobel are phenomenal. How is it possible for a person to so totally dissolve into a character that when they become another in front of your very eyes they seem to be two completely separate entities? They are both utterly mesmerizing in all their roles. Review>>
