...cast. As Teach, Don and Bobby, Mamet's trilogy of lowlifes, James Carmichael '00, Jonah St. Newmouth and Jonathan Steinberger '00 command the audience's unblinking attention for two straight hours with ease. It's nearly impossible to rank their performances in any meaningful sense. Steinberger presents an almost scarily realistic portrait of Bobby, Mamet's junkie with a heart of gold, while Carmichael brilliantly portrays the overly energetic and manipulative Teach.

But after a few repeats, the catchy beat starts to conquer your feet, then works it way through your hips and soon you'll be crashing your head with the best of them...
Denise Summerford, as Sally Simpson, is by far the brightest-burning beacon of talent in the cast. Though her moments onstage are painfully sparse, she belts her solos with enough charm, spunk and spirit almost to compensate for the poorly-timed lighting designs and zero-imagination choreography she's stuck in--almost...
