Santo Loquasto
New York Times: "SANTO LOQUASTO is canny with a metaphor. In the first half of “Our Leading Lady,” Charles Busch’s barbed sendup of show business, he framed the stage, a sketchy simulacrum of Ford’s Theater in Washington, with a majestic proscenium arch. As the action progressed, that arch shifted position to register the play’s ever-shifting perspectives. In the final act, it leaned forlornly against a wall, an eloquent shorthand for the players’ thwarted ambitions in the gray hours after Lincoln’s assassination."
