| Lake Simmons |
How does one person entertain a crowd for 90 minutes without saying a word? I have no idea, but that's exactly what Lake Simmons does in "Etiquette Unraveled." Using a range of music from Led Zeppelin to J. Strauss, and an ingenious set, Lake Simmons and the crew from One Arm Red did an amazing job of captivating the audience and pushing the boundaries of our imaginations. Lake Simmons breaks the fourth wall throughout the performance and it worked every time. At one point she sets up a tea party next to one of the audience members and has "tea" with him. In this day and age when million-dollar special effects are the norm and our imaginations have little work to do, I found this performance wonderfully refreshing. One of my favorite parts was the "cat orchestra" where Simmons carefully takes out one stuffed cat after another until she has an entire orchestra. She had the audience in the palm of her hand.
The theatre was very cozy. The sound and lighting were perfect. And they had some great refreshments. I thoroughly enjoyed the show. If you're looking for something different, something that's going to give you imagination a work out, something that will make you laugh and think hard, definitely check out Etiquette Unraveled.
