‘Body Awareness’ at Theater J: Real problems couched in funny business - very electric toothbrush

At first glance, the composition of the playwright Anne Baker's "body consciousness" seems simple.
A Vermont lesbian couple
Joyce, a high school cultural studies teacher, and Felis, a feminist scholarand their 21-year-
There may be Asberg's son, Jared, who searches the Internet for naughty things.
Add a highly Manly visiting artist named Frank Bonitatibus who shoots naked women and girls.
Combine in consciousness
Raise "physical awareness" week on the Ferris progressive campus (Shirley State College. Stir gently.
The results of the easygoing "physical consciousness" are really interesting, from the professor's pretentious to Frank's outspoken sexual talk to Jared (Jared relieved his No.
Diagnosed but very obvious disease by sucking an electric toothbrush ).
The actors in Eleanor Holdridge's unshakable entertainment program at Theater J obviously like this stuff and they look good in it: Baker's conversation is sour and personable, there are enough unexpected twists and turns in the portrayal to allow you to lean forward.
Like the "Round Mirror Transformation" seen in the studio theater two years ago, the "body consciousness" has a high fun ratio
Baker's conceptual stereotype of flirting with it.
Baker is rapidly becoming one of the most popular playwrights in the country.
This fall, the studio is making her other Vermont drama, alien.
This may be because she has a lovely ability to comically simulate types and trends while exposing the character's original seams.
At the J theater, this was most evident in Susan Lenski's performance as philes.

Lynskey is sensitive to Baker's clues about the damage and fragility of fillies's loss of balance, and the actress's reflection has attracted you.
At this point, Holdridge's team is in sync: People have real problems with interesting businesses.
The punch line is landed cleanly by one and all, and you can get a good idea of the numbers and even the Wells
The regular acceleration of the toothbrush will get laughter.
Adi Stein acted in a concise manner, and was particularly vicious with Jared's explosion.
Jared's mother, Joyce, was insulted by some of the worst, but Jared's lack of social skills also led to a serious weakening of his political correctness as a child, in one of Baker's most evil moments, he ruined his job at McDonald's.
As Joyce, Mary Beth Wise is a fidgety mother and seemingly young companion in a romantic relationship, and her work is very cute.
(The psychological rhythm in the comfortable house, in the computing country style house of Daniel Edinger, there is an atmosphere of Pottery Barn, which is very timely all night.
