Play: Revolving Madness

You know how people who fringe a lot never take the reviews seriously because
half the reviews are people who can't stand a actor or director...have not
sen the show and just being snarky giving zero and one stars..
and the other half is friends of the cast and/or directors and they are
just pushing trying to get more four and five star rend
views?
Well I'm the latter. Yeah. I will up to it. I consider every single
one of the people in Revolving (Mike, Christy, Lauren and Dre) great friends
and good people. Honestly good people.
And the show they did last night was really strong and good. It is apparrent
that they also care and love each other very much, and it is also very apparent
that they have known and worked with each other for a very long period of
time. That is a mark of a good improv ensemble. People who can hang in
there and work with each other for years. True Fiction Magazine has that
mark. And So does Revolving. They are a great ensemble.
I'm saying this because I'm their friend. I'm also saying this because
these people were instrumental in selling out a three hundred seat house
at SFIF06: If you miss the only official improv show at The Fringe? You
are missing one of the best improv ensembles in the city.

Parts of this show were very funny and fast paced. But the transitions were
weak and slow and killed the timing for me.

Still living the dream and now damning the man to boot, this quixotic quartet
will dazzle and delight with their imaginative and intense improvised plays.
Working without any suggestions or pretense towards game playing, they show
more wit and talent in a 45 minute show than most groups can muster in a
month. Exceptionally bright and open as players, they are also one of the
more physically dynamic groups you will see. They are one of the most original
and "together" ensembles you will ever have the privilege to watch,
and now they also have t-shirts. Do yourself a favor and see two shows,
just to verify their verve and versatility.

These four people are telepathic. Or at least thats how it appears on stage.
The improv is so quick, so funny and so damn smart, you'll swear they wrote
the script, or at least on outline long before jumping onstage for a 45
minute completely made up play. They are a joy to watch!

I've seen Revolving Madness about three times this summer and they have
consistantly made me laugh harder than any improv group in the Bay Area.
What separates these four is how incredibly comfortable and open they are
with each other. It's probably just about the most fun you can pack into
an hour. |
