Evelyn Reese’s Family Room

Venue 2 – MTC Up the Alley

 

In this one-woman show, Evelyn Reese talks about her friends and husbands. While the script is full of funny one-liners, I found Susan Fischer’s performance annoying. She decides to play Evelyn Reese as an over the top jerk. The audience can not sympathize with her; we can only laugh at her. Additionally, when an actor starts their character so high, there’s no range for the character to grow. The character can only stay high (which is what Evelyn Reese does) or come back down. Overall, this show was disappointing.
