Low budget, mostly fledgling actors,so-so performances,claustrophobic rehearsal room theatre--but LOVE that Shel Silverstein dark, ironic humor! The experience was like seeing live action Pfeiffer cartoons. "Meat and Potatoes" was pretty sick-o, but I must confess, I laughed. 'Wash & Dry', however, was brilliant.Written on May 10 2012

Was unfamiliar with Shel Silverstein so I didn't know what to expect. Very odd,somewhat twisted takes on life and individuals. I LIKED IT! The only problem was patrons have to cross directly in front of the stage in order to get to their seats. Not a problem until the show starts. At this theater all latecommers are allowed in no matter how long the show has been going on. Very annoying and I'm sure not appreciated by the actors!!Written on May 14 2012

If you bought tickets already do not bother attending. The venue is very small so you cannot leave until the show is over. There were very few entertaining moments. It was not worth the elevator ride up to the 5th floor.Written on May 14 2012

Thinking Up a New Name for the Act
Pete hits on the phrase "Meat and Potatoes" as the perfect name for their vaudeville act, but Lucy doesn't like it. The only words in this farcical sketch are "Meat and Potatoes."
Note: This sketch is the ultimate acting exercise. The only dialogue in the sketch is “Meat and Potatoes” repeated over, but it plays out like an entire Law & Order Episode
