We just got the word about a very positive review of Dances with Wolfshirts on nytheatre.com by reviewer Kyle Ancowitz. If you were waiting for a second opinion about whether you should catch this show, look no further. Here’s the first paragraph and a half.
Dances With Wolfshirts, the latest sketch comedy offering from the three-man troupe A Week of Kindness, is a spirited, scabrous, and totally beside-the-point exploration of the post-capitalist trend cycle. Mike Still, Nate Kushner, and Dan Hopper have conceived and perform their fifth show as an amusingly unenlightening tribute to our restless consumerist whims and they handily succeed in being very funny.
Fans of sketch classics like Mr. Show with Bob and David, The State, or even good ol’ Saturday Night Live should feel right at home with A Week of Kindness’s blend of antic live skits punctuated with (what they describe as) “innovative, often-demented short films.”
And also, later on, he says “I left the theatre wondering if I could bid for wolfshirts on eBay.” which is the best compliment that anybody has ever given anybody.
