REVIEWS:
of Manbites Dog Theater's production of
ACT A LADY

Delightful lunacy...Men in dresses have been a source of theatrical humor for centuries, but in "Act a Lady," playwright Jordan Harrison uses the device as a springboard for grander purposes. Manbites Dog Theater Company's production of this multilayered romp goes all out to help Harrison reach his heady goals.
-- Roy C. Dicks, News and Observer, Full review

Go for the acting. Derrick Ivey in particular is amazing in his three roles. Not only is he the mild-mannered Miles, but he morphs into the crazed Lady Romola — and into her erstwhile lover Valentino. His transformation is so complete in each that it is hard to remember that it is all the same actor.
-- Kate Dobbs Ariail, CVNC.org, Full review

Gloriously overwrought lines...a strong ensemble…the payoffs in the scenes "on-stage" are nothing less than delicious.
