Incendium presented by Chicago Slam Works House Ensemble at Stage 773

Chicago Reader - Recommended

"...I love seeing actors have fun, and when these performers improvise around their pieces, they light up. The poetry, though, is on the whole quite bad, although I enjoyed Angela Oliver's song "Emotionless Sex," which brought the house down with laughter. A fickle meter, the anapest (so serviceable to Clement Clark Moore on the night before Christmas) is the undoing of a lengthy parable about the theater life, although Nate Cheeseman tries. Funnily enough, as this earnest cast insist, it turns out the afterlife is a lot like being a professional actor. You wait an eternity for the phone to ring, and when it does, you're not supposed to pick up."
