Story5 out of 5 stars 5
In 2004, in a small, windowless theater in then-desolate Williamsburg, Brooklyn, an eccentric family of broke art-school survivors staged an experimental, four-hour adaptation of William Faulkner’s novel As I Lay Dying inside an enormous wooden coffin that could barely fit the cast, much less an audience. The production’s cast and crew—including its sweetly monomaniacal director—poured their hearts and paychecks into a messy spectacle doomed to fail by any conventional measure. It ran for only eight performances.

Woke Up The Theater Kid Inside Me
Reviewed: 11-14-24
I just finished listening to Theatre Kids, narrated by Brian Holden, and I want to thank John Devore for this heartfelt, nostalgic journey. This book woke up the theater kid inside me. Devore’s memoir is a testament to the magic and camaraderie of the off off scene. Highly recommended for anyone who came of age on the boards.
