alright.
Review for The Four Biggest Guys in Rock performance at the Hovey Players Summer Shorts 2001 "This was my favorite play of the weekend, and I think it was the audience favorite as well. The premise of the play is extremely cute, and in fact would be too cute to bear if not for the funny, sharp and very witty writing. I usually look for more from a play than just a good laugh, but although there is no deep theme to this play, I couldn't care less. It's cracking good fun, and very entertaining." -Willy G. Biggers, Th eaterMirror.com The title actually says it all, in this brilliantly zany sketch which Robert Mattson directed and also took a role: The guys are the quartet whose faces are on Mount Rushmore, and the actors (J. Mark Baumhardt, Tom Berry, Mattson & Dave Sheppard) could move only from the neck up! They occasionally freeze when tourist-parties invade their privacy, moan about eagles nesting in a nose, and wile the hours by trying to guess the utterers of the worst (and at sketch-end best) quotes from past presidents (and from one present one!) Once more, the place for such inspired bombast has disappeared in our tube-obsessed society. (You want to look for a congenial bar with a back room? I'm with you!) - Larry Stark,Review from TheaterMirror.com |
