As we go into our final week of show for Buffalo Heights, Tongue in Cheek Theater's first original full-length work, I feel tremendous pride and purpose.
Seven months ago, we had an idea for a new work and some people we wanted to work with. Months of incubation later, a staged reading, a Puffin Foundation grant, and now a fully-staged run happening, it feels tremendous.
Add to that the nearly entirely sold-out run (we added on a Tuesday night, May 13, performance due to high demand) and some very positive reviews, and all involved feel wonderful about the piece and have hopes for its future.
Excerpts and links to reviews, below.
May 14, 2014: StageBuddy - Review of Buffalo Heights: “Entertaining throughout ... brought the house down laughing ... a standout performance from Joe Mullen ... a small but impressive turn by Nina Leese, a very powerful actress and presence on stage ... Buffalo Heights is Tongue in Cheek’s first full length theatrical undertaking, and a sign of nice things to come.”
May 12, 2014: Tracy’s New York Life - Review of Buffalo Heights: “Jake Lipman serves as the Producing Artistic Director, in addition to being the star and director of Buffalo Heights ... Lipman manages to succeed in all areas ... TIC has a talented ensemble cast ...Shelley Little is a great comedienne ...Joe Mullen is a dynamic presence.”
May 11, 2014: Going to Tahiti Productions - Review of Buffalo Heights: “It was awesome! Witty and fun and thought provoking and surprising ... wonderfully performed ... Go see BUFFALO HEIGHTS!”
Thanks to everyone involved -- from the artists, production team, and our donors and audiences -- for making this dream a reality!
