REVIEW: The secret is in the sting in Theater Uncorked’s ‘As Bees in Honey Drown’

Posted on May 22 by The Sleepless Critic

The future looks bright for Evan Wyler. Fame couldn’t be this easy…could it?

Theater Uncorked’s unconventional satire As Bees in Honey Drown examines art, materialism, sensationalism and celebrity as debut writer Evan Wyler, depicted with wide eyed credulity by Michael Mazzone, dives into an alluring deal that promises fame and fortune, but the price of this ticket could be more than he bargained for.

Effectively directed by David Miller, Theater Uncorked presented Douglas Carter Beane’s As Bees in Honey Drown for one weekend only at BCA Plaza Box Theatre in Boston, Massachusetts through Sunday, May 18. This darkly satirical production contained adult themes and ran approximately 2 hours with an intermission. Click here for more information and what is next in store for Theater Uncorked.

Douglas Carter Beane creates a hard and fast world full of movers and shakers from Wyler’s perspective as he is suddenly thrust into the fame game and uncomfortably participates in an awkward magazine photo shoot with a disdainful London photographer, played to perfection by Benedict Dawn-Cross, alongside Isabel Ginsberg as his humorously apathetic assistant, Amber. However, this preamble is just making room for Sehnaz Dirik as fast talking and polished celebrity agent Alexa Vere de Vere who is about to up the ante on Wyler’s celebrity status.

Director David Miller and Leonard Chasse’s rolling set design alludes to the art of observation as cameras and studio lights accompany a raised platform with a crowd backdrop. Some of the furnishings evoke an Andy Warhol and 90s flair which include white sculpted chairs and colorful furnishings. However, what is most prominent is the eye catching orange and white beehive images on the wall. Tim Rose’s awesome sound design combines fitting hits of the 70s and 80s while occasionally alluding to the hum and buzz of the bees.

As Honey in Bees Drown is not just a metaphor and is referenced forebodingly a number of times during this production. It lures Wyler in with talk of grandeur and achievement, but be aware of the sting. Dirik’s notable delivery somewhat resembles the comic genius of Absolutely Fabulous as Alexa Vere de Vere, a grandiose PR enigma with a glamorous British accent in sparkling black speaking as if money is no object. Impressionable and hungry for success, Wyler shares some unforeseen moments with Alexa who navigates from hardnosed agent to slick charmer to vulnerable victim in quick succession. Recalling comical quips, quotes and candid monologues about her personal history, Dirik offers quite the layered performance in a wide array of stylish costumes by Anna Silva from furs and pearls to sleek business suits. Manipulative, clever, and often shooting from the hip, Dirik’s Alexa’s rapid fire musings can spin a tale without restraint and it is no accident that Alexa occasionally refers to Wyler as ‘lamb.’ Mazzone also makes no bones about being molded while Dirik takes the reins.

With the exception of Mazzone and Dirik, the cast portrays a number of enhanced stereotypes that offer some comic relief. Isabela Ginsberg infuses likability and humor into an array of sarcastic, self important and airy characters inconvenienced by the work that they are doing. Lauren Elias juggles a self absorbed actress, partygoer and socialite breezily.

Bradley Belanger is in his element portraying your best friend and your worst enemy. What makes Belanger’s delivery so intriguing is a shared crazed expression that works for both characters with separate motivations.

As Bees in Honey Drown presents an interesting concept and an engaging comedy, but the real kicker lies in its sting. As soon as you think this show is heading in one direction, the production turns the narration on its head. Part character study and part morality play, As Bees in Honey Drown is an actor’s showcase for Dirik luring everyone into her world and begs the question of what constitutes real success and authentic art. Is it creating for the sake of creating or does everything go for the highest bidder?

REVIEW: Chain Theatre’s Winter One Act Festival presents Sarah Hoogenraad’s dark comedy ‘Celebrity Crush’

Posted on March 4, 2024 by The Sleepless Critic

Who’s on the celebrity list?

Some couples have a ‘pass’ from their partners when fantasying about celebrities. One person might get a pass from the other if by some possibility one gets a chance to meet or even date a famous celebrity and Lizzie Nguyen as Shannon never dreamed that this might actually happen. Self absorbed, giddy, and giggly, Shannon and her roommate Amy, depicted by Sarah Hoogenraad who is also the playwright, will find out dreams might not live up to reality and that over sharing can be more than dangerous.

With careful direction by Rebecca Wilson and co-produced by Chandler Holloway, Sarah Hoogenraad’s dark comedy Celebrity Crush (#15) was part of Chain Theatre’s Winter ’24 One Act Festival took place from February 8 through March 3 virtually as well as live and in person at The Chain Theatre, 312 West 36^th Street in New York, New York. Click here for more information.

Set in Los Angeles, Celebrity Crush’s dark humor and zippy storytelling keeps things light even when Shannon and Amy realize that the celebrity scene can be less than glamorous. With a fitting music soundtrack which includes perfectly appropriate Crush by Jennifer Paige, Celebrity Crush has a modestly colorful set and humorous props to add lightness to the progressive intensity of the production. Hoogenraad and Nguyen share some wild moments and they have a natural rapport together. Miciah Wallace, in a dual role, is especially engaging as Kyle boasting that snappy catchphrase, ‘Smile because you’re with Kyle.’

It would have been nice to have known what led to Shannon’s date and to get to know the cast better to be more invested in its outcome, but perhaps Celebrity Crush could expand its storyline or become a series in the future.

NYC actress, writer, and filmmaker Stephanie Iscovitz talks film career and managing annual ‘New York New Works Theatre Festival’ in October

Posted on September 27, 2017 by The Sleepless Critic

NYC actress, writer, filmmaker, and casting assistant Stephanie Iscovitz is no stranger to a competitive festival, having been on the winning end and a participant. She is taking her expertise to a whole new level running the upcoming New York New Works Theatre Festival, kicking off Tuesday, October 3 and continuing through Saturday, Oct. 21 at New York City’s Duke Theatre with the final gala on Monday, Nov. 6 at Theatre 80.

With a wide spectrum of diverse, carefully chosen theatre productions from hundreds of submissions and created by Gene Fisch, Jr., the New York New Works Theatre Festival is a give back project to help the arts community. It’s an exciting, annual event as award-winning representatives from Broadway and beyond judge the next generation’s promising talent. Click here for the full theatre schedule, tickets, and here for panelist information.

Stephanie Iscovitz delves into her journey as a film festival participant, what to expect at the New York New Works Theatre Festival, and the message she hopes to convey through her work. Click here for more on Stephanie and her upcoming projects.

Sleepless Critic: Starting October 3, you are leading the management team at the New York New Works Theatre Festival.

Stephanie Iscovitz: Yes, I’m managing the New York New Works Theater Showcase and am very passionate about including as many powerful, female and diverse voices as possible.

The New York New Works Theatre Showcase is a theatre competition that provides aspiring writers the opportunity to present their work in a top tier theatre while being mentored by a group of Broadway, television producers, and industry leaders. The distinguished panelists are Broadway producers, Tony Award-winners, Emmy Award-winners, or industry executives that volunteer their time to help aspiring writers. Performances take place in the 199-seat Duke Theatre on 42nd and Broadway from Tuesday, October 3 through Saturday, October 21 with the final gala on Monday, November 6.

I’m eager to take all the wonderful parts of my film festival experience while bringing some great new ideas to the New York New Works Theatre Showcase. As an actor and writer, I know what kind of opportunities I would benefit from and am humbled and excited to provide that for the participants in this year’s showcase.

SC: You bring a broad range of experience to the New York New Works Theatre Festival, including your training at the T. Schreiber Studio and Theatre, a studio that features Edward Norton, Peter Sarsgaard, and Maria Bello, just a few of their renowned alumni. What was that experience like for you?

SI: With only eleven students in the conservatory, it was an extraordinary, life-changing experience. When you’re part of an intense, raw, and emotionally-challenging program like that, the people you experience it with become your family. I still study there as part of their on-going scene study program continually challenged with roles I’m afraid to do. I was most recently working on a character affected with brain damage.

SC: What do you think is the most important thing that T. Schreiber has taught you as an actress, filmmaker, writer, and producer?

SI: Terry Schreiber notoriously says that you must give yourself the permission to let yourself happen, which has become my mantra. The first couple of short films I made as an actor, writer, and producer had potential, but they weren’t great. However, I wouldn’t be where I am today or learned as much as I did had I not made those short films, which I consider beautiful stepping stones. Give yourself permission to fall flat on your face and be patient with yourself on this creative journey because in this business, it’s more about the journey than the destination.

SC: Having attended a number of festivals in your career, you have firsthand experience participating in what can be incredibly competitive festivals. What was your first film festival you attended?

SI: The first film festival I got into was for my first film, Ladies Night, presented at a great festival I return to annually, the 2014 Big Apple Film Festival. It’s a comedy held in a karaoke bar and I’ve learned a lot after that first film, like avoid writing a film where music rights are imperative. To my surprise, it was very well received and screened alongside Jerry Stiller in the festival program. I had no idea what I was doing at the festival and was so nervous during the Q&A I could feel my shortness of breath while I was speaking. It’s a comforting thought that no one really knows what they’re doing and just trying to do the best they can with what they’ve got.

SC: Recently, you went to Long Beach Island for a film festival not long ago. What is it like for you to attend a festival where your production is featured?

SI: Lighthouse International was the best film festival I’ve attended. Each year, the festival champions a selection of new, often unrecognized films from the US and around the world to compete in the festival and for audience award categories, which screen alongside award-winning spotlight films from Sundance, Cannes, SXSW, Toronto and Tribeca. I saw pre-released films and met other NYC filmmakers, sparking collaboration for future projects.

After the screenings, there were Q&A’s with the filmmakers. We had our world premiere of Bruce Loves You where the shorts programmer, Chip Parham, ran a stellar screening. It was wonderful to have a captive audience interested in knowing more about our film making process and about of course, Bruce the ghost.

SC: As you attend these festivals, do you feel like you get better at the process or is every festival different? What was it like to win at the festival?

SI: Every festival is different. We’ve started to call it ‘Game of Festivals’ where you win or die and 99% of the time you die. It’s all so subjective and such a gamble, depending upon who’s watching your submission if your submission was actually watched, at what time of day, and what the viewer’s own personal values and tastes are. When you are actually accepted out of thousands of submissions, it feels like a real lottery win.

I met one of my closest friends and collaborators at a film festival where our film, Catslaughter had been rejected. After speaking with her, it turned out we had the same exact film except hers was about a sweater and ours was about a cat. She had submitted early and was already accepted when we submitted late. Timing is everything. A rejection doesn’t necessarily mean your film was bad. There are a number of factors involved and in this case, they had already programmed a similar film. However, it turned out to be a huge blessing because she and I clicked creatively and have gone on to work together on multiple projects.

SC: What is the message that you hope to deliver through your work?

SI: I really want to drive social change through storytelling and that begins with representation on film, particularly through the female lens and experience. I hope to enlighten while helping audiences feel a little less alone.

REVIEW: ‘L.A. Dance Project’ closed Celebrity Series of Boston’s season with powerful, message-driven performances

Posted on June 1, 2017 by The Sleepless Critic

Another spectacular season of Celebrity Series of Boston has come to an end, but not without an intriguing and dynamic finale by L.A. Dance Project, packing a punch with their surprising footwork. The final performance also featured a free, interactive post-show talk with Ballet Master Sébastien Marcovici. Celebrity Series of Boston’s 2017-18 season will premiere in October with multi-talented performer Alan Cumming. Click here for more information and for tickets.

Playful, vibrant, and at times haunting, L.A. Dance Project, closed out the Celebrity Series of Boston’s season at the Shubert Theatre from May 19-21. Led by Benjamin Millepied, an acclaimed dancer and choreographer known for choreographing the award-winning film, Black Swan, L.A. Dance Project’s three complex and contemporary dance segments offer its share of joy and conflict while inspiring strong emotions throughout the performance.

Accompanied by a haunting oboe featured in a dynamic medley by Park Woojae, Harbor Me by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui delivers a powerful message about human nature and looking past what is on the surface. Fragments of light stripe the floor as shadows sway ominously on the walls. Dressed in fatigues and urban clothing in browns, blues and greens, Stephanie Amurao, Julia Eichten, and Lilja Ruriksdottir interact with each other in a ballet-infused variation of unity, imitation, reflection, and conflict. They move in a fascinating flurry of abstract movement that both celebrates unity as well as emphasize the dark side of human nature as the music intensifies.

Worn sneakers possess a mighty significance as dancers, dressed youthfully in shirts and shorts, unite in a vigorous and charming performance, the second dance segment of the afternoon. The lighthearted, violin-infused music possesses a mounting urgency set upon a vibrant water, gold, and black background. The lithe men and women ensemble, featuring Stephanie Amurao, Aaron Carr, Julia Eichten, Nathan B. Makolandra, Robbie Moore, and Rachel Rafailedes, are blissful and uplifting in smooth, sweeping steps. They perform pirouettes with zeal, twirl, dip, and hook arms in a display of sweet innocence. In a particularly humorous moment, as the dancers exited the stage, rambunctious dancer Janie Taylor, carried away by the music, was yanked offstage at the last moment. The performance, entitled Murder Ballades by Justin Peck, is a response to real life, tragic events that children have endured in Aurora and Sandy Hook. It is a beautiful, spirited tribute to youth, but not without a sense of foreboding.

The final dance, On the Other Side, is an intriguing compilation by acclaimed artistic director and choreographer Benjamin Millepied. With an extraordinary emphasis of color by costume designer Alessandro Sartori and bright, multicolored background art by Mark Bradford, On the Other Side taps into a wondrous reverie featuring dancers Stephanie Amurao, Aaron Carr, David Adrian Freeland Jr., Morgan Lugo, Robbie Moore, Rachel Rafailedes, Lilia Ruriksdottir, and Janie Taylor. Each color in the artwork seems to come to life in each dancer as they spin, twirl, and skip along. The piano tune, by Philip Glass, also builds to a crescendo as duets perform a mix of traditional ballet and contemporary dance and then gather center stage, as if yanked out of a reverie.
