“Rabe’s The Black Monk is receiving its first Philadelphia-area staging April 10–29, 2012, as the concluding entry in Simpatico Theatre Project‘s 7th season. The piece is directed by Simpatico AD Allen Radway, who excelled with last season’s productions of Evie’s Waltz and David Mamet’s The Cryptogram. The cast includes former Royal Shakespeare Company actor David Howey as horticulturist Yegor Pesotsky, and two talented young actors who have risen fast in the local theater scene as Pesotsky’s daughter Tanya (Sarah Van Auken) and her suitor, the protagonist Andrei Vasilich Kovrin (Matt Lorenz).”

The Philadelphia Inquirer & Stage Magazine are glowing over
The mEEp pROjecT
by Ed Swidey
“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
Evie’s Waltz named a “Must-see Show of the Spring!” amongst excellent company.
