Recommeded Play: Framework Reviewer: Nick Strange Reviewer Email: Frankly, I was disappointed. I'd seen this group a while back at the Next Stage and thought they had a lot of potential. But since then, for whatever reason, that potential has been diluted to simply a gimmick. Doing long-form improv isn't enough. Even doing long-form improv well isn't enough. It still needs to have an edge and the show I caught Thursday night was barely a notch or two above after-school special. Come on, guys! You're a talented bunch of improvisers. Unadulterated happy endings are cheese whiz. Play: Frameworks Reviewer: Cory Reviewer Email: kunjane@hotmail.com Rating: 2 Stars I thought the whole thing was overacted and corny. I didn't love that the actors were waiting on the sidelines. I thought they did a good job of making it seem like a real play, but it was overstylized. I don't really love the concept of integrating technology. Play: Framework Reviewer: Jonathan Reviewer Email: Rating: None I'm one of the co-directors of the show, so I don't expect you to accept my opinion as unbiased. Here is the SF Bay Guardian Review: "Framework: Tilted Frame &SHY; Combined Art Form Entertainment's resident improv company at Off-Market Theater, one of the festival's "Bring Your Own Venues" this year &SHY; combines old and new art forms to create its unique brand of spontaneous theater. Incorporating Internet and digital video technology into the long-form improv show, the cast of five actors &SHY; a compelling mix of personalities who interact and play off of (and with) each other with ease and overt pleasure &SHY; works together with two Internet-surfing techies and one musician to produce a single, hour-long play. Taking their cues from a randomly selected Web site, the night I attended, the ensemble successfully wove together a drama replete with romance, attempted murder, and various absurd plot twists and still managed by the conclusion to tie up the loose ends into the happy ending required of any well-made play. (Shalson)" Play: Frame Work Reviewer: Jen Kollmer Reviewer Email: jen at durabletheater dot org Rating: None A great show--these guys are hilarious. Improv amazes me, especially when it's done so well. (How five people can forge a coherent story from such a random starting place is beyond me--but Tilted Frame pull it off brilliantly.) Play: Framework Reviewer: Sara Reviewer Email: Rating: 5 Stars This was a lot of fun, And amazing that the actors made it up as they went along. I've seen a few things and I have to say this has been my favorite so far.... Play: Framework Reviewer: Sherie Jacobs Reviewer Email: bostongirlinca@yahoo.com Rating: 4 Stars I'm a fan because this troupe never lets me down. I laugh, I laugh alot and then I laugh some more. The themes resonate with the audience, educate them on current events and also illustrate Bay Area comedy very well. Diana Brown is HYSTERICAL- and so ingenius- her laugh is contagious and her style and stage presence is outstanding, Jonathan Caplan well- aside from being fall on the floor, hold your stomach until it hurts funny- he's a great improv player. He's definitely a crowd pleaser. Christopher DeJong- dorky and funny and sexy- need I say more? Heather O'Brien, makes her character so believable and Trish Tillman sweet, funny and never has a dull moment on stage, very enjoyable to watch. Their show flows like they do this every night. Go watch...it's a good time!
