Rave Reviews for BOA offerings from Threshold and Playpen!

We couldn't be more excited about the positive reception for the two short plays Threshold and our sister company Playpen have contributed to the 9th Annual Bay One Acts Festival (BOA).

Audiences and critics have been unanimous in their praise and affection for the The Catcher in the Rye, Cancelled by Jon Brooks and Three Little Words by Tim Bauer, directed by Artistic Director Jessica Holt and Core Member Alex Curtis, respectively.

The SF Bay Times calls Catcher a "well-staged riotous parody" and the eight-member acting ensemble" don't miss a beat. Three Little Words is "truly hilarious and not to be missed."

Check out Linda Ayres-Frederick's comprehensive SF Bay Times review for a full recap:

Produced by Threshold's new sister company Playpen (Theater), founded by core member Alex Curtis, Three Little Words is a production of the Bard's classic tale with a few changes. Three Little Words is a witty, theatrical send up of star-crossed lovers and the actors who play them.

With a full cast of talented, funny actors, Playpen is proud to welcome its new cast:

Nick Dickson,
Jasen Talise,
Megan Briggs,
and Dave Dyson

With two Threshold directors taking stage, casts including Threshold actors Cooper Carlson (Exchange), Brittany Berg (Within the Wall of Sand), and Brant Rhotnem (Ayravana Flies), and even two plays by Threshold talents Sam Leichter (actor: Exchange, Footprints in the Applesauce) and Ben Fisher (playwright: Exchange, Footprints in the Applesauce), BOA 2010 will be a Thresh-Stravaganza not to be missed!

See you there!!!
