NY Times Profiles The Talking Band!




Laura Collins-Hughes profiles The Talking Band in anticipation of their 40th Anniversary production, The Golden Toad.
"The Talking Band members have been together for a very long time, and the characters in “The Golden Toad” lead linked lives, too. Directed by Mr. Zimet, the troupe’s artistic director, the play is a four-part mini-epic with a cast of 14, set in an ever-changing New York. But even with the epilogue, which leaps ahead a couple of decades, it doesn’t cover as many years as these three have logged in one another’s company."

The NY Times calls Brickman Brando Bubble Boom "Unforgettable."

"This inventive production uses various, seemingly incompatible materials — film clips, sheets of plastic foam, Monopoly sets — to create a D.I.Y. history pageant.... Unforgettable... Now that's what I call deconstruction."

NY Observer: Brickman Brando Bubble Boom "highlight" of Under The Radar


 

The New York Observer has picked a few shows that are not to be missed at the 2015 Under The Radar Festival, including Brickman Brando Bubble Boom which begins performances on Tuesday, January 13th:
"Presented at the Ellen Stewart Theatre by festival partner La Mama, Spain’s “ingenious” Agrupación Señor Serrano presents Brickman Brando Bubble Boom, which, according to [Under The Radar's Co-Director, Mark] Russell, is “the financial crisis channeled through the life of Marlon Brando.” Works for me. During the performance, “they build a house on stage out of styrofoam...And that, ladies and gentlemen, is avant-garde theatre."
