Detroit Strip Clubs: Stuffing the box: 14 plays (and two critics) at ‘BoxFest ‘09′
August 14, 2009 at 3:24 pm | In Detroit strip clubs | No CommentsNot even the delicious Jessalyn Brooks could improve the “Big Game” by Molly Thomas. Direction by Diviin Huff is lackluster, and the action – a married couple argues over scheduling the conception of their baby – utilizes far too much of the space than it should have. (Either their living/family room is devoid of furniture, or they live in a mansion!) Plus, it seemed the least rehearsed of all the shows.
Another gem is the heavenly “Squisher’s Atonement” by Jacquelyn Priskorn. A recently deceased (and now disoriented) woman (Linda Rabin Hammell) suddenly finds herself in heaven’s waiting room. It’s a delightful comedy with plenty of twists and turns, and a web of fine performances by Hammell, Christa Coulter and Robert Hotchkiss. Direction by Molly McMahon couldn’t be better.
“Strip Club” by Kristen Wagner is every stripper’s nightmare: What if your parents showed up to show their support for your new job? Director Linda Rabin Hammell shows a new and gutsy side of herself with this brief, but funny endeavor that stars Kelly Rossi as the embarrassed stripper. Even the set change that opens the performance is fun to watch!
