**END OF UPDATE**

We had our second performance of TAPE yesterday afternoon, and open our third this evening. Our first show was meekly attended, but those who were there were very responsive and clearly enjoyed the show a lot. Yesterday was MUCH better number-wise, and the audience REALLY enjoyed themselves. They were laughing at all the right times, and quiet and thoughtful exactly when we wanted them to be. Also in yesterday's audience was a reviewer from the St. Paul Pioneer Press. His review is below:

Stephen Belber's play — which was made into a 2001 movie with Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman — is really more an exercise in dialogue than a story. This story of three people in a motel room rehashing the events of a long-ago night has more improbabilities, red herrings and false endings than a bad detective novel, and its 20-something characters are Myopic with a capital M. But the first-rate cast of Christiana Clark, Stephen Frethem and [The Madjai] gives a smooth and polished reading under the able direction of Dana Buchwald. Nothing too Fringe-y about it, but a good effort.

Basically, he didn't like the show, but he liked us. Fair enough, Mr. Papatola. Fair enough. If you haven't seen it yet, please come. Dates and times are on the Fringe Festival website. Or, you can check out my homepage with a link on the right.
