BWW Reviews: Tuesday night's press performance of Tectonic Theater Project's The Laramie Project was a true case of the well-known mantra, "the show must go on," coming to life. Thanks to the unfortunate federal government shutdown, Ford's Theatre Society was unable to hold its press performance of the powerful drama as scheduled in its historic home. In a city where the theatre community might not be as tight as it is in DC, it may have simply been cancelled. However, Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company graciously stepped up to the plate, providing Ford's with access to its rehearsal hall to perform the well-honed play for members of the press and other invited guests with only a few hours of preparation.

I think it's wonderful that another theatre company was willing and able to allow Ford's Theatre society to borrow their rehearsal hall. i do think that sometimes the best way to deliver the emotional impact that a piece is looking for is to do away with the sets and lighting and all the things which seem shiny, and to just allow the acting and the story the play is telling to carry the moment and hold all the attention.
