Big Time Toppers presented by Theatre L'Acadie at Redtwist Theatre

Stage and Cinema - Highly Recommended

"...Farce is not a style of performance one sees too often these days and that's probably because it is extraordinarily difficult to pull off, requiring complete commitment from cast and crew to its sensibilities, razor-sharp comic timing, physical comedy chops, and tight pacing and direction. There's a lot that can go wrong but when it works it's glorious and I am thrilled to report that Theatre L'Acadie's world premiere of Big Time Toppers by Patrick Vermillion falls into the 'glorious' category for the vast majority of its ninety-minute running time."

Third Coast Review - Recommended

"...Theatre L'Acadie is known for edgy satire while bringing deeply human themes to the absurd situations of life. The first production I saw from L'Acadie was called The Swan, which tells the tale of a woman who takes in an injured swan. The anthropomorphic swan was both comic and heartbreaking in its vulnerability. Big Time Toppers takes the absurdity to a new level. Harlow (Hannah Antman) and Stubs (Jamaque Newberry) are aspiring professional clowns who are desperate to be a part of the Ripley Brothers Circus. They have to try for the last opening before they turn 30, and the clock is ticking. What could go wrong?"
