[Nstc] "Laughing Wild" Reviews and Remaining Performances

[ceil at zianet.com]

Hi!

We received excellent reviews about our current production, "Laughing  
Wild," from both the Sun News and The Bulletin! You can read them on our  
website (www.no-strings.org) and buy tickets online as well. We will also  
be glad to take your reservations by phone at (575) 523-1223,

It’s just an average day in the grocery store. A man (Brad Martinez) is  
examining some cans of tuna fish when suddenly, an off-beat woman (Jamie  
Bronstein) appears behind him exuding some odd energy. He tries to ignore  
her, she tries to get by him but they reach an impasse — until she conks  
him and he falls to the floor. Flustered, the woman runs out into the  
streets of New York to hail a taxi, the man, perplexed and with a throbbing  
head is left to reflect on how he *should* have behaved.

“Laughing Wild” is a story about communication, empathy and tuna fish. It’s  
raucous, rollicking and thoughtful. Set in 1987, the play tackles themes of  
nuclear proliferation, sexual identity, AIDS and mental health — all  
wrapped up in smart, biting humor. Peter Herman is the scenic and lighting  
designer, Robert "Bobcat" Young designed the costumes, and Bekah Taulbee  
and Cassie Galban are sound and light board operators, as well as running  
the projections.
