Inoculations Reviews
Theater Ninjas production of Inoculations received great reviews from Cleveland's most noted reviewers! I'm so proud to be in this show. Inoculations runs Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Mondays at 8pm, and Sundays at 3:00pm: through November 20th. 78th Street Studios 1300 West 78th Street, Cleveland TICKETS: https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/134313 Tony Brown, The Cleveland Plain Dealer "It is one of the most exciting, original and confounding experiences I've witnessed in my 11 years covering Cleveland theater." Christine Howey, Cleveland Scene Magazine "There are a couple moments that linger in the memory, such as when one actor speaks the lines that another lip-synchs..." "The actors from the first play join Koesters...in an attempt to merge the two works. But that unity is less important than the sum of the theatrical parts on display here. The other performers include Ray Caspio, Michael Prosen, Val Kozlenko, Darius Stubbs, and Amy Pawlukiewicz, all of whom give their all to make Paul's concept of O'Donnell's challenging theatrics resonate." Roy Berko "The Theatre Ninja production, as is the case with Paul's work, is well conceived. The actors are centered on their purposes, stay in character, and create the proper intensity. LACAN features Ray Caspio, Val Kozlenko, Ryan Lucas, Amy Pawlukiewicz, Michael Prosen, Nick Riley and Darius Stubbs...INOCULATIONS is a confounding yet fascinating evening of theatre."

I'm excited to announce I will be playing Yusef El-Fayoumy in The Basement Apartment Theater Movement's production of The Last Days of Judas Iscariot. The Basement Apartment Theatre Movement presents: THE LAST DAYS OF JUDAS ISCARIOT by Stephen Adly Guirgis August 4, 5, 6, and 7 at 8:00 pm The Church at 6201 Detroit Ave. 6201 Detroit Ave. Cleveland, OH Admission is FREE! (Suggested donation of $15.00 if you can afford it) Directed by Dylan Winter Dwyer A hard-hitting, innovative play that examines modern religion and causes everyone to ask questions about what they believe. The afterlife has become a courtroom where those who await their final judgment are actually put on trial. This particular trial focuses on Judas Iscariot, more commonly known as the Betrayer of Jesus. In this play, the assumed guilt of Judas is examined as the Purgatorial courtroom calls such witnesses as Saint Peter, Mother Teresa, and Satan himself.
