The review on Rosenstrasse is up - we're a hit. Key quote:



"Dreamwell Theatre in Iowa City, the company presenting the Iowa premiere of this show (which opened last weekend, in honor of Yom Hashoah — Holocaust Remembrance Day — April 18), has a spare, absolutely wonderful production in “Rosenstrausse.” It’s raw — a bare stage and a group of actors — and it is very effective."



I am actually the only principal character not reviewed in the article. However, as I know Ms. Nancy was never taught the "if you can't say anything nice" rule, I'll take the silence as at least a nod of competence. She also fails to mention Deone Pedersen, who manages to pull off playing seven distinct characters in the space of an hour and a half, complete with costume changes, voice alterations, etc.



All in all, it is a fantastic production full of talented people. We close this weekend, so if you want to see it, get tickets for either Friday or Saturday.



UPDATE



On a side note, that is not petty and has nothing to do with the fact she didn't say a darn word about my performance, I notice Ms. Nancy still hasn't been introduced to the "spellcheck" feature of her computer, as evidenced in the quote above (Rosenstrausse? Are we protesting the illegal detention of flowery composers?), and in the fact that she entitled our last review "Bride Has Fun With Wedding Choas."
