What’s in the Wings…
April 16th, 2012Join us on Monday, June 11th for the exciting 11th installment of the Simpatico Trivia Challenge: The Simpatico Speakeasy All proceeds support our electrifying 8th Season in Philadelphia!
The Reviews are in…
“The Black Monk once again confirms Simpatico as one of the best indie companies in town… (actors) Van Auken and Howey display consistency of character through demanding ranges of tone and emotion. Lorenz walks a line between rationality and madness with skill (the next local production of Hamlet has found its title character)… The production’s excellent use of music is worth mentioning, the onstage performances of violin, piano, and vocal fit perfectly (Elizabeth Zook, John Greenbaum & Shannon Remley)… Attempting to summarize the best modernist short stories is futile; it’s impossible to capture the depth and subtleties that make the stories great… Rabe and Radway succeed magnificently.”
- Christopher Munden, Stage Magazine (full article)
“David Rabe did theater a favor by adapting Chekhov’s short story for the stage. And Simpatico Theatre Project’s production pays it forward.”
- Wendy Rosenfield, The Philadelphia Inquirer (full article)

Thank you, Philly, for helping Simpatico successfully expand our regular Season to include a third show:

by Ed Swidey
“There’s nothing in the theater like a delightful surprise, and these usually come in small chunks, not generally an entire evening. Ed Swidey’s The mEEp pROjecT is one of those rarities: a winner all the way. Enormously complex in its creation and execution, it’s all-ages experimental theater fully-formed.” - Howard Shapiro, Philadelphia Inquirer
“The mEEp pROjecT is a giant step in the right direction (for Simpatico) — not just for children, but for everyone who enjoys being transported to a magical place, where joie de vivre is the norm, and even the meanest Others can be won over with a tickle, a flower, and a “meep!”…an enchanting hour of fantasy, with a serious message on the importance of laughter, joy and community.” - Deb Miller, Stage Magazine
