BERKO REVIEW: THE PROSPECT OF EQUALITY @ ENSEMBLE
by Roy Berko 27 May '24

27 May '24

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *Capsule judgment: Though the script could use a little more dramatic tension, and possibly some additional humor, and the staging would be aided by eliminating the excessive movement of furniture to create different settings, the general quality of the writing and the acting excellence makes for an evening of highly satisfying theatre and added appreciation and admiration for Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a woman who optimizes the phrase, “A life well lived!” See this!* *To read the entire review go to: *https://royberkinfo.blogspot.com/ *To read the capsule judgements of the other Cleveland reviewers go to: * https://clevelandtheaterreviews.blogspot.com/ *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*

Review: The Toothpaste Millionaire
by Heather Utsler-Smith 24 May '24

24 May '24

Reviewer Samantha Cocco says "David Hansen's adaptation of "The Toothpaste Millionaire" is all heart, and Talespinner Children's Theatre's world premiere production of it is all color." "Under the direction of Ananias Dixon and assistant direction of Diwe Augustin-Glave, audiences watch sixth grader Rufus develop his own ingenious business plan to make and sell a cheaper version of toothpaste called... Toothpaste. It's cheap, and it works! He, his friend Kate, and a handful of other classmates form a successful company and become accidental millionaires, with the help of some supportive adults and a whole lot of perseverance." With a scenic design that "delights," costume design that "captures the 1970s feel," and "endearing" and "thoughtful" performances by leading actors Quincy Brame and Kierstan Conway, alongside a "fantastic ensemble," you won't want to miss The Toothpaste Millionaire's closing weekend! Catch the full review at https://www.samanthacocco.com/reviews/the-toothpaste-millionaire-at-talespi… Performances at Rainey Institute Saturday May 25th at 1:00 and 4:00 Sunday May 26th at 3:00 Recommended for audiences ages 8+ Reserve seats today at www.talespinnercle.org/tickets
