    September 24, 2018 iartmedia Review 0 comments
    At the close of a long, hot summer, it is refreshing to escape into a cool theater and savor Sierra Repertory Theatre’s clever, imaginative and funny production, “Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery,” set in the misty moors of England. SRT co-founder Dennis Jones has returned to direct and design this production. He has created an atmospheric set enveloped in fog, with dogs baying and ominous howling winds. Modular sets representing trains, railroad stations and a gloomy mansion with moving walls add to the fun. Read full article in uniondemocrat.com/lifestyle…. Read More

    Hunting the Witch Hunter in “The Visitation” – Review

    November 09, 2017 iartmedia Review, Theatre, video 0 comments
    A new immersive theatre company debuts in Brooklyn It’s 1682; the “witch hunter” has come to town to investigate yet another suspicious incident. Will he find witchcraft or some other form of evil? The young girl in question is one, poor Anne Gunter. And she has been afflicted with something terrible: eyes rolling into the back of her head, flailing limbs, babbling verse, and even spitting out pins, to her father Brian’s astonishment. Her family are concerned and have called in two specialists; however, the two priests on the scene are more inclined to use patience and prayer as their primary weapons. Both Father Wake (an authoritative, wise-sounding Daniel Harray) and Father Prideaux (an eager, unsettling Brian Lore Evans) have traveled great distances to the Gunter family home in order to complete their investigation. But we’re not in just any old family home: we are in the storied Wyckoff House, which is the oldest house in New York City. It has been lovingly restored in the colonial style and now functions as a museum, except for tonight, when it has been transformed into the set for The Visitation. This very old, worn house is mostly dark on this brisk November evening, save […] Read More

    “People like us, who believe in physics,” Albert Einstein once said, “know that the distinction between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.” Einstein meant it as consolation — he was speaking at the funeral of a friend — but alas, for André (Ted van Griethuysen) the distinction has melted and he is in terror. A man of great dignity and self-possession, Andrei finds himself facing some disconcerting uncertainties. Is he in his apartment, or his daughter Anne’s (Kate Eastwood Norris, or, sometimes, Erika Rose)? And who is that man (Daniel Harray or, sometimes, Manny Buckey) in the apartment with them? Why doesn’t his other daughter, Elise, come to visit them any more? And where is his damn watch? Ted van Griethuysen and Kate Eastwood Norris in Studio Theatre’s The Father. (Photo: Teresa Wood) The Father comes to us as a comedy might:  André, having terrorized his nurse into resigning, now must confront his daughter, who has a terrible dilemma. It is this: she is moving from Paris to London to be with her lover, and must find a solution for her father, who is slipping into dementia. She cannot look after him, and if she can’t […] Read More
