A One Human Being, Potentially Comedic Performance of Beauty and the Beast

Living the Dream—The Gargoyle Theatre

I don’t know whether I would call this a performance, or a deconstruction. For much of this show I couldn’t help but think it very badly wanted to cater to the 18 and up crowd, but was hampered by our One Human Being’s experience as a teacher. The highlight of this show is her crowd work, starting from the moment the audience walks in, and not stopping I would assume until after the audience is gone. Hers is a space of play, plenty engaging to her students- sorry, audience. She knows how to put on a show, but it just seems the show is unsure of what it wants to be.
