Smoke & Mirrors?
This compelling
ghost story is written by Prince Gomolvilas and directed by Catherine Ming
T’ien Duffly. It is playing at the CoHo
Productions space, 2257 NW Raleigh St., through November 16th (parking is a challenge in this area,
so plan your time accordingly). For more
information, go to their site at www.cohoproductions.org
Storytelling is a
unique art. It certainly can entertain
and be an expression of feelings. And
there are many mediums for storytelling, not only books, but films as
well. And they sometimes can educate, too,
on the sly, if necessary. Rod Serling
(Twilight Zone) and Gene Roddenberry (Star Trek) found a way through
Fantasy/Sci-Fi to address sensitive, social issues, too, like prejudice, abuse,
gender concerns, et. al., face-on in these areas, without being censored, and
the public at large was being educated, as well as entertained. Such sly dogs they were. (Not unlike W. C. Fields favorite expression
of irritation on the screen, “Godfrey Daniels!,” which was slipped smoothly by
the censors, since it really meant…well, you figure it out.)
In a way, Gomolvilas
does the same thing here, as did Serling & Roddenberry. On the surface, it is a grand ghost
story. But, underneath the clever
mystery, the play addressed such issues as mental illness, severe cultural
shock, suicide, gambling addictions, alcoholism, etc. In essence, it is not unlike a bedtime story
you might read to your child at night, in which are fun images presented but
with an underlying moral message to be gleaned, too. So, sit back, relax (but not too much) and be
entertained and educated by an expert storyteller.
I can only give you
a thumb-nail sketch of the plot because of the unique twists in the story. Enter Delia (Andrea White), a woman who
insists she has been visited by an invisible, malevolent spirit (in appearance,
think The Grudge or The Ring films from Japan), Jai (Melissa Magaña), who wishes Delia harm for some reason. Her flamboyant husband, Felix (Jasper
Howard), has other ideas as to the haunting.
Max (Samson
Syharath, also co-producer with Dmae Roberts), a ghost-hunter, with his
brother, Visarut (Lidet Viravong), who believe there is something seriously
amiss. They also consult their sensitive
mother, Tasanee (Elaine Low), for aid in understanding and, hopefully, ridding
this house of the evil entity. More I
cannot tell you, as the plot has many twists and turns which an audience should
discover. But, just know, that not
everything is as it appears.
This has all the
earmarks to someday be a film. There are
also some very clever “special effects” concerning the spirit’s antics. Duffly has chosen her cast well and successfully
brings out all the subplots of these characters that the author has
created. In other words, it’s just not
another spooky thriller, but has a lot of depth underlying it.
Magaña certainly must
have some dance and movement training, as she is very agile and effective. White and Howard work well together, showing
the love between them and applauding the differences. Low is very powerful as the representative of
the old-world values and the conflicts of trying to adapt to new ones. Viravong, as the older, more technically
savvy of the brothers, is appropriately restrained, as he also tries to
navigate this complex world. And
Syharath is always a joy to watch onstage. In this incarnation, he grapples with the many
complex issues that confront his ever-changing and challenging ideas and
beliefs.
I recommend this
show. If you do see it, please tell them
Dennis sent you.

Am Lucy Morgan from Atlanta Georgia i was suffering from genital herpes, oral herpes, shingles. Before I came in contact with dr. Kham It is no longer news that the Acquired immune deficiency syndrome Herpes Virus is increasing by the day, The fear is that many people living with the sickness are scared of saying it because of the stigma that comes along with it.I am bold enough among many others to state that there is now a potent cure to this sickness but many are unaware of it.I discovered that I was infected with the virus 3 months ago, after a medical check-up. My doctor told me and I was shocked, confused and felt like my world had crumbled. I was dying slowly due to the announcement of my medical practitioner but he assured me that I could live a normal life if I took my medications, In a bid to look for a lasting solution to my predicament, I sought for solutions from the voodoo world. I went online and searched for every powerful trado-medical practitioner that I could severe, because I heard that the African Voodoo Priests had a cure for Herpes syndrome. It was after a little time searching the web that I came across one Dr. Kham website who offered to help me, He gave me some steps to follow and I meticulously carried out all his instructions. Two days ago to be precise, I went back to the hospital to conduct another test and to my amazement, the results showed that " I am NEGATIVE" You can free yourself of this Herpes virus by consulting this great African Voodoo Priest via this EMAIL dr.khamcaregiver@gmail.com WHATSAPP NUMBER +2348159922297, You can Also Visit his website to know more about him at >https://herbal-dr-kham.jimdosite.com/ or visit his Blog at https://drkhamcaregiver.blogspot.com/

Mr Jeffery
Is there anything too hard for Dr Amber to do? To me, there's absolutely nothing too hard for Dr Amber to do because what Dr Amber cannot do does not exist. His spells have healed the sick, solved court cases, reunited broken couples and lovers, brought good luck to those that need it E.T.C. Website -- ( amberlottotemple.com ). If I start saying all that Dr Amber can do I won't finish writing. His spells removed me from a low life of suffering to a life that I never thought I could ever live in. Now I am financially balanced with my own company. Dr Amber made me a Lottery winner of 115 Million Dollars from the Mega Million Jackpot Lottery I played with his appropriate winning digits given to me and I am very proud of what he does with his powers and I know a lot of people will need his help too. Thank you xo xo xo much Dr Amber for bringing a perfect change in my life. You can call/text +1 808-481-5132 or email: amberlottotemple@yahoo.com for more information.
