When I walked into this play, I had absolutely no idea what to expect.<\/span><\/p>\n

The stage was set like an old waiting room: dated magazines, pastel-pink and green tile pattern on the floor, stark plastic furniture and nondescript prints hanging on the wall. It was like I had somehow bypassed the theater and walked straight into a hospital by mistake. It even had that stringent, chlorinated smell of a doctor’s office.<\/span><\/p>\n

The play itself is both clever and witty, serving up laughs from the audience throughout its run. But be warned, “In a Little Room” will certainly pull at your heartstrings as well.<\/p>\n

Two men Charlie (played by Luis-Daniel Morales) and Manning (Jeb Kreager) meet in a hospital waiting room after losing a loved one and spark a conversation over their coffee. The two wind up spilling the coffee over a sleeping man and hilarity ensues.<\/p>\n

Written by Pete McElligott and directed by Patrick Vassel, this is a play brings light and life to an everyday tragedy.<\/span>\u00a0Charlie and Manning \u00a0must find a way to deal with their individual losses and attempt to understand how their lives are going to proceed. They do so in a manner that is both starkly poignant and unexpectedly hysterical.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Overall, the play is captivating and presents a truly entertaining piece of theatre.<\/p>\n

It’s just one of many things I love about living in New York City: accidentally stumbling upon a great piece of theatre put on by people who throughly care about their craft and enjoy sharing it with audience members, fans and strangers a like.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“In a Little Room” is a nice surprise of a show. Did I expect to laugh as much as I did? No. Was I thoroughly entertained? Yes. Have I been thinking about the show since seeing it? Definitely.<\/span><\/p>\n
