Lanford Wilson's  Burn This   (Sept  2010)

The cast [does] an admirable job...actively trying to produce some authentic human behavior.  The production's stand out would have to be Shelleen Kostabi.  Playing the role of Anna...Kostabi [does] an elegant job of finding subtleties in the role. She made Anna far more complex than she appears on the page.

Jeff Daniels'  Apartment 3A  (June 2010)

"...Apartment 3A is finally getting its New Jersey professional premiere."

"...both the title Apartment 3A and the premise suggest a network sitcom." 

"If this cast, expertly chosen by director Louis Scarpati, could be in it, “Apartment 3A” would indeed be a success with the critics and in the ratings."

 Andrea Prendamano [who plays Annie shows] us how damaged Annie is long before she admits what’s wrong. But, ...Prendamano shows that the woman is made of sterner stuff [as well]."

"Larry Kadish [playing Elliott] proves that he understands Daniels’ intention. Here’s a man who’s right at home with his co-worker, blithely interacting with her, utterly unintimidated."

"The trickiest role is Donald. He’s one of those characters an audience member starts out hating.... Daniels is exceeding skillful in the way that he reveals that there’s a nice guy under the boorish behavior, and David Russo plays that sensitivity to great advantage."

"Let’s not forget David A. Green as the landlord. He’s one of those fast-talkers.... Green is so blithe in the way he delivers bad news that an audience winds up being charmed rather than infuriated by him."

Spend some time with the people in and around Apartment 3A, and you might well want to move into the building.

Neil Simon's  CHAPTER TWO   (May/June 2008)

"Brian Parks [playing George Schneider]...conveyed immediately, and without words, the spiritual death of his character...[with] shoulders drooped; the eyes stared vacantly; and the legs carried him to a destination he didn't know and didn't care to reach."

"[Parks] was just one of four excellent reasons to attend this particular show. I did not see Judd Hirsch, Anita Gillette, Ann Wedgeworth, or Cliff Gorman when the play premiered in 1977, nor have I yet caught James Caan, Marsha Mason, Joseph Bologna, and Valerie Harper in the film version two years later. But despite the considerable fame and talent of all these fine actors, I have a tough time imagining them embodying their characters with greater humor or rueful truth than Parks and his three co-stars do here.

"Simon has been extremely well served by this production of Chapter Two, with the heartache played as adeptly as the hilarity."

"Louis Scarpati [directer of] this romantic comedy-drama...used [the] excellent cast to best effect. "
