Well, looky there, Graydon Royce liked Tales of the Expected.  Judging by the line-up of stories, he saw our first performance.  Here’s what he had to say:

Ari Hoptman and his revelers knock off fractured tales both familiar and invented in the most literate and whimsical show I’ve seen so far. Hoptman mixes a facility for language with an ear that is perfectly tuned to all that is absurd. Friday, his cast did “Rumpelstiltskin,” “The Little Engineer Who Couldn’t” (what did Medieval folk do before Viagra?) and “Das Boot,” about sailors whose harbor ferry is threatened by the planned construction of a new bridge. Director Peter Moore lets the words and the actors (including Hoptman, Michelle Hutchison, Leslie Ball, Carolyn Pool and Josh Scrimshaw) do their work. It’s ridiculous fun.

Add us to your schedule!  We have three more performances. Wed @ 7:00 PM, Thurs @ 5:30 PM, and Sat @ 5:30 PM.
