In on It

Theatre West presents a reading of In on It, marking its third annual program honoring LGBTQ Pride.
Is Daniel MacIvor’s IN ON IT a stylized theatrical puzzle, an acting tour de force for two exceptional performers, a witty and knowing deconstruction of a relationship, an exploration of the hairline border between life and death, or a meditation on how artists create art from life? In truth, it’s all these things.3
Within its meta-theatrical intricacies, it is surprisingly heartfelt, drawing the audience in and delivering a potent emotional wallop.
Like the purest of Shakespearean productions, IN ON IT demands that its actors create a world out of themselves, a scant few props, and, most importantly, a gray jacket. The concentric circles of the play’s three realities collide and intersect in ways that only clarify in the play’s final moments. CurtainUp.com wrote, “there is a depth and universality in this work that is surprising and quite remarkable, really. This is theater more than worthy of our attention.”
Directed by Michael Van Duzer. The cast includes David Mingrino and Matthew Gademske.
