RECENT PROJECTS
'DENTITY CRISIS
BROKEN
Christopher Durang's 'Dentity Crisis had a 5-performance run at Theatre Asylum as part of the Hollywood Fringe Festival and won four Scenie Awards from Stage Scene LA: Memorable Direction, Memorable Production, Memorable Ensemble Cast Performance and Best Performance. The play made "Best of Fringe" - the top 9 plays from 280 and received glowing reviews:
"Gnarly word play and silly satire extend to his ‘DENTITY CRISIS, under the brilliant direction of Alexa-Sascha Lewin as part of the current Hollywood Fringe Festival. Only three performances left, but for half an hour of high energy silliness and a nice slice of banana bread, it’s a ‘don’t miss it’ situation." - Michael Sheehan, On Stage Los Angeles
"Co-producer Alexa-Sascha Lewin's fabulously frenetic direction, sparkling performances by Victor, Coleman, and Marlowe, a deliciously deadpan turn by McFarland (of Fox TV’s Lie To Me), and above all the brilliant young Podany’s marvelously manic tour-de-force as Robert et all add up to a half-hour of madcap mayhem…" - Steven Stanley, Stage Scene LA
