THEATRE RESPONSE: COLORADO

Last Thursday I drove to Berkeley to see my friend Klahr in a play called Colorado. The hour and a half drive was well worth it. Impact Theatre performs in the Subterrenean Theatre or the basement of La Vals' Pizza - when I first got there I said to myself "I'm in a fucking basement!" But as soon as the show started I thought how perfect of a space it really was. They turned the basement of this pizzeria into a black box theatre that seats 60. I was very impressed with the play itself - it had so many layers with tons of comedy - brilliantly written by Peter Sinn Nachtrieb.

My friend Klahr Thorsen was stunning. I told her there was a couple of parts in the play where she really scared the shit of out me. Just a brilliant performance. The other 3 cast members were terrific - Joshua Houston, Jon Nagel and Adrienne Papp. The play dealt with a lot of issues - family, the obsession to be famous and of course beauty pageants. I will have to check out more of Impact Theatre's upcoming shows. I recommend you check them out too!
