What the Critics said about "Tupperwhere?"

So here is what the Chronicle said about "Tupperwhere?"

FronteraFest: Best of the Fest, Bill B

Hyde Park Theatre, Feb. 12

The final night of Best of the Fest at the FronteraFest 2005 Short Fringe was typically eclectic, with pieces ranging from expressive abstractions to spoken word. Spare Change gave us "Tupperwhere?" with a set comprised of enormous, pastel-painted, two-dimensional bowls and plates. Two sisters in chiffon dresses sang gaily about the aesthetic and functional pleasures of plastic kitchenware. A bohemian artist curiously received an invitation to the party sent by their apparently deranged mother, who was decorated in excessively sloppy make-up. Throughout, a cellist played haunting melodies that slipped between horror and melodrama. The sisters humiliated the young artist by throwing around her voice captured in a small Tupperware jar, resulting in a struggle between order and passion, cleanliness and chaos, art and superficiality, in this Dada-styled musical.

Tupperwhere? wins Best of Fest

Tupperwhere? has won Best of Fest in this year's Frontera Fest. So, what that means is we win the chance to perform it two more times. Hmmm...maybe I'd rather take cash. But nonetheless, you get to see it now if you missed it. This Wednesday and Saturday at Hyde Park Theatre: http://www.hydeparktheatre.com/site/index.html

Oh yeah, I wrote the music and play the cello on stage.
