Penguins is up, and it's getting good reviews.
Time and again, Penguins shocked its opening-night audience -- a late-night Capitol Hill crowd, no less -- into hysterics.
And,
Helping things immensely is the cast, a uniformly excellent crew directed by Bret Fetzer, who keeps things fast, sharp, and funny.
And, perhaps one of the best bits for me personally, my name is under the photo at the top of the page. I think that may be my first actual byline in a real (ie, on paper) publication.
There's also a very positive review by The Examiner, a paper I hadn't been aware of until finding this review. The examiner says,
Not for the easily offended, and not intended to be, Penguins plays with the kind of tongue-in-cheek violence and euphemistic humor you might find in Death to Smoochy.
And,
For those interested in the bawdy nightlife of comedy, it's well worth the trek down to Annex Theatre for an affordable evening of laughs
Two out of two? Right on! I haven't been able to find any other reviews yet, but I'll certainly post them here when I do.
If you want to come see Penguins, you'll have to act fast. It's only running this coming weekend, then next Friday, and that's it. This Friday and Saturday (the 21st and 22nd) are Pay What You Can, while Sunday's show is full price ($10 general admission, $7 TPS members, $5 students w/ID). The closing night show, on the 28th, is also full price; after these reviews and the positive word-of-mouth I think we're generating, don't be too surprised to find closing sold out.
To buy tickets online (which I highly recommend, although you can't do PWYC online, only at the door), hit Brown Paper Tickets. It's the only way to get advance tickets and ensure that you'll get in.
