Got Calories?
A slice of life in la la land, starring three talented actresses. Eating
Skeletons is about the trials and tribulations, the traumas and the tears
of two teenage girls trying for stardom, as they audition for their big
chance. Christina Huntington (babe). Of course, the talent scout/agent is
Jewish. Good performances by all the actresses. Parts of the dialogue youve
heard before (those 5 pounds that TV adds
). Oh, by the way, Christina
Huntington is a babe! And no, Im not a bud who has known her for years.

A fun script by Jen Rudin, but the acting is what makes this play a must
see at the fringe this year. Danya Solomon's portrayl of Zoe, a child actress
battling with its hardships, gives the piece such weight and unexpectedly
brought tears to my eyes. Only two more shows... go see it.

A very talented trio of actresses, with excellent energy and timing and
such great chemistry between them that they were extremely enjoyable to
watch.

Funny and zany but grounded and gritty. Great character work! Very precise.
These women know what they are doing on stage, how refreshing. I knew all
the words to the soundtrack... scary.

30 Minutes of an Interesting, Lightly Funny Look at Teenage Auditions
Unfortunately, the performance itself ran 40 minutes. It could have been
cut down to ½ hour without losing anything. Three actresses act out
a number of bits involved with teen age girls auditioning for the proverbial
Jewish talent scout/agent. The acting was fine. The actresses seamlessly
transition between multiple characters/ages. There was no Q&A after
the show (this may have been removed after the first performance). If youre
going out to see just one show, take a pass. If youre
looking for a second or third show to round out the evening, and want to
be cheered up a bit between darker performances. Eating Skeletons
may be the ticket.

Wherein, Jenny Pearson expounds, vicariously, on the business of this business.
Constitutes a humorous reality check on the business of child-actor business.

Fun, short piece, very well performed by 3 ladies with a lot of stage presence.
The more you're into theater, the funnier it is.

A difficult subject to make funny. However these three funny ladies did
an amazing job. The transitions were excellent, well timed and flawless.
I enjoyed the multiple characters and the "message" of the piece.

Lighthearted, close to the heart, and lots of fun. And there's a Q&A
with the playwright, director, and performers after the show - well worth
seeing if you're interested in "the business" especially as it
affects young people.

Super interesting play, a sometimes unsettling combo of comedy and social
commentary, the show traces the trials of an actress named Zoe as she struggles
with eating issues and acting coaches. The three actors move flawlessly
between past and present and multiple characters....
I went in expecting something very comic, and left feeling much more satisfied...Great
script, wonderful direction and performances, and you haven"t live
until you"ve seen the hybrid of Janis and Ophelia!!!! |
