Snappy, surprising, stimulating and altogether satisfying

Boling’s playful directing style is charming and his penchant for humor is palpable

Eerily and surreally directed and performed
- Show Business Weekly (Woyzeck)
A pleasure to behold… first-rate ensemble acting… clear-sighted direction
- Back Stage (Black Comedy)
Manhattan Theatre Source… succeeds at every level.

Seeing this production (Three Sisters) makes me
wonder about all the ways I can be a better actor

I am grateful for organizations like Manhattan Theatre Source that remind
audiences of life’s possibilities and of our human powers to imagine and to create.

On a scale of 0-10 with 0 being completely whetolrss and 10 being superior, my seatmate and I gave Holes scores ranging from 4-7 (some parts were better than others), which gives an overall NTW rating: Not The Worst. Even though the play clicked right along with no uncomfortable pauses (good directing), overall the plot too often developed as if the characters were thinking it up as they went along. It is NOT an inspired plot and that woodpecker song is too dumb for words. The casting was good. Nick Abeel from the start was extremely annoying in every way. I just wanted to slap him, which I suspect is the emotion the playwright intended to engender. Mark Goetzinger and Jennifer Johansen always give solid performances and Milicent Wright is magical, a divine talent. (We attend any play that Milicent Wright and Jennifer Johansen, or Rob Johansen, are in, sometimes twice.) Wayne T. Carr so much presence, just a pleasure to watch him work. All the actors did fine (those delinquent kids must have been good actors, because I found them thoroughly repulsive, wanted to slap them, too). But please, PLEASE tell your young actors that they have to ARTICULATE. They have to make every syllable understandable. You are stage actors, you guys. It’s not TV, not film, not the school cafeteria or mumbling in your sleep, it’s the stage, and many in the audience are over the age of 40, 50, 60 and (gasp) even older. We don’t hear as fast or as well as we used to. We require articulation. Slowing down a teeny-tiny bit would help, but what would help most is to articulate, enunciate, pronounce every syllable. We want to be able to hear and understand. Another magical actor with enormous talent and stage presence Mauricio Suarez. Wow! That kid is going places. Final word: Not the greatest play. I wouldn’t recommend it, except maybe to a talent scout looking for a good 13-year-old actor, and I certainly hope you never reprise it. But I’m not sorry I saw it. In general it was a fun evening and the refreshments were great. We loved those brownies and meatballs!
