Straight-Up Raves!
back to all the reviews



Without giving too much away, the writer/performer of this show, Paul Stroili, works off the premise that a heterosexual man who "knows the wrong things" -- things normally identified with a female or gay frame of reference, falls between the cracks in society. From there he hilariously embodies the various characters in his life. His hard-nosed German mother, his immigrant Italian father, a sports-minded brother and a psychoanalyst who decides he is the "Mercedes" of patients. Sharp, fresh, sophisticated humor enlighten a show that will entertain straight, gay or "Renaissance Geeks".
