Berko review: WATER BY THE SPOONFUL @ Dobama
by Roy Berko 29 Apr '19

29 Apr '19

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *Capsule judgment: Pulitzer Prize winning “Water by the Spoonful” is a thought-provoking play which gives a clear picture of the horrors of addiction, the difficulty of overcoming its grip, and what it is to live with a force controlling you, instead of you controlling it.* *To read the entire review go to: **www.royberko.info* <http://www.royberko.info>*. ** To read the capsule judgements of the other Cleveland reviewers go to: **www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com* <http://www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com> *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*

Focused over a week within a nurturing inspired environment with fabulous teachers, I’m reminded of what brought me to acting in the first place, and filled with the many possibilities that are ahead.” –LAURA PERROTTA (Great Lakes Theater, Cleveland Playhouse, Dobama Theatre, etc.) “The Great Lakes Michael Chekhov Consortium is an incredible, immersive experience. The program teaches practical, useful tools for the actor that can be applied in any and every theatrical experience. It is an amazing opportunity that I would recommend to any actor who is interested in furthering their craft.” –SCOTT ESPOSITO (Ensemble Theatre, Blank Canvas, Beck Center, Lakeland Theatre, etc.) “Just a few months out of the first module, I’ve already witnessed the Technique shape and mold the way I act and direct. I feel myself becoming a different and better theatre artist. More importantly, I find myself connecting with a joy and passion for the craft that I’ve never experienced. I’m having more fun and I’m carrying that spirit of play and discovery into my rehearsals which, quite frankly, is way more enjoyable than feeling like I need to have all the answers...” –CRAIG JOSEPH (Seat of the Pants Productions, Ensemble Theatre, Weathervane Playhouse, Playwrights Local, etc.)
