FACE gaining traction - Posted on 2008-02-06 11:21:13

After about 8 months of slow-burning improv (including residencies at People's Improv Theater, The Magnet, and now Brooklyn's Galapagos Art Space), the actor/musician collective known as FACE is beginning to pick up speed. Its first substantial review (albeit by a college paper) is glowing, and, as far as I know, it was not written by anyone in the group's mother. Here's an excerpt from the Fordham Observer:

FACE Improv's Jan. 18 performance at Galapagos Art Space in Williamsburg screamed of talent overload, with music, laughter and spontaneity pouring out the door of the tiny space. Their jokes ebbed and flowed sporadically, as the musicians embellished each minute of the show with their equally theatrical and relevant jazz....To even the most seasoned show-goer, FACE will throw the idea of improvisation into a new light....Upright Citizens Brigade and other improv shows might now seem slightly bare in comparison, and I'm not sure that I would exactly trade FACE for a night at the Blue Note. It's the combination of both that makes the show so unique.

Read the complete review here.
