Thanks to Mingsi Ma of onStage Pittsburgh for another great review of CLOSING TIME AT THE MOONSIDE CAFE!
"The setup brilliantly blurs the boundary between the traditional stage and the audience. We, the audience, are encouraged to wander through the space and strike up conversations with the performers, all of whom play members of the Moonside Cafe staff. What I love most about this performance is the amount of improvisation and unpredictability it allows. As the entertainment begins, the night soon goes unplanned: the lights flicker alongside an odd chime. Someone drops a heavy box of silverware. Suddenly, confusion, fear, and unease flash across the faces of every Moonside employee. From then on, our audience becomes the detectives to uncover the truth."
