[NEohioPAL] Opinion: Nina Domingue give a must-see performance in CPT's NO CHILD

[DanielGreatLakes at aol.com]

I don't post to this list very often, but last night I saw the final  dress 
of CPT's "No Child," a one-woman show featuring Nina Domingue,  directed by my 
friend and co-worker Lisa Ortenzi, written by Nilaja Sun; and it  absolutely 
blew me away.
 
Nina gives what is arguably Cleveland's single best acting performance  of 
the year.  It was like watching a young Anna Deavere Smith in her prime,  
hitting it out of the park.  She somehow manages to switch characters  between 
wildly different personalities on a dime, yet makes each one clear,  precise, and 
honest.  It is masterful storytelling, simply told,  beautifully directed, 
powerfully executed -- not to mention laugh-out-loud  funny.
 
I'll leave CPT's marketing department and the professional reviewers the  
task of summarizing the plot, crossing all of the production's "t's" and dotting  
all of its "i's," but suffice it to say this should be a  performance long 
remembered in this town for its brilliance.
 
Congratulations to Nina, CPT and all involved.  Get to the Bookstore  Theatre 
before this gem is gone.
 
Daniel  Hahn
