By George Herman
A skilled troupe of actors -- who have been travelling together for, well, they don’t even remember how long -- take on their greatest challenge; to tell the story of Man. They will do it in one evening of Commedia all’ Improviso -- an evening which will be full of surprises for these seasoned performers as well as for the audience.
"The first part is amusing slapstick entertainment.... [The second makes] a point about how pride and arrogance destroy collective efforts." Hollywood Reporter.
It is a fine mosaic of life redeemed by humor and human understanding.
