REVIEWS

 

"...a vial personality and an agile acting style...his skill at switching seamlessly from an imigrant's Yiddish accent to a New York drawl to the staccato style of a stand-up comic --- and his disarming engaging presence...keeps its audience on that thin line between tears and laughter.

​

"...a script that valances...its shrewdly mixed ingredients of pathos, wit and plain home truth make "A Map and a Cap..." a serio-comic monologue will worth attending.

     Paul Kresh
