Comments on: 3 stages, 2 connections, 1 day http://www.spoletotoday.com/2008/05/26/3-stages-2-connections-1-day/ Coverage of the Spoleto USA and Piccolo Spoleto festivals from Charleston, South Carolina Wed, 19 Nov 2008 23:08:52 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Janet http://www.spoletotoday.com/2008/05/26/3-stages-2-connections-1-day/#comment-11501 Janet Mon, 26 May 2008 16:12:40 +0000 http://www.spoletotoday.com/?p=342#comment-11501 I enjoyed "Lobby Hero" as well, more for the acting than the play's content. I'm not sure the subject of modern culture's moral ambivalence is particularly enlightening in the current climate; It's all too familiar. That said, the performances are engrossing. I found myself forgetting I was in a theater, a rare treat. Paul Rolfes is kinda scary, almost too real to be anything less than disturbing, and Jamie Smithson's physicality reminded me of Jim Carrey, all angles and sharp, fluttery movements that fit the character perfectly. There's really no reason not to check out these fine actors for a mere $10. It's cheaper than a movie with popcorn and far less fattening.
