Out Of Order at Metropolis Performing Arts Centre

Chicago Stage and Screen - Somewhat Recommended

"...This show had extreme opposites on what worked and didn’t. I thoroughly enjoyed the quirks and timing of Chuck Sisson (waiter), and Sarah Tolan-Mee. Each one was very specific in their choices and knew when to play a pause or a physical element. I wasn’t blown away by all of Andrew J. Pond’s choices but he was most solid when he was stopping and thinking. The set in a farce takes on a character of its own. Though the set was constructed well and allowed for many people on stage it also was bland."

Chicago Theater Beat - Highly Recommended

"...The huge hilarity of this production lies in the comic brilliance of the cast, in particular Michael B. Woods as the nebbishy George. At every turn of the plot, Woods expresses George’s appalled horror in each movement of his lanky frame and elastic, Munchlike face. The deft interplay between Woods and Andrew J. Pond’s glib, dry Willey is sidesplitting. As the tortuous plot twists its it way through abruptly disappearing corpses and unexpectedly appearing spouses, Woods just keeps getting better and better."
