Checkout the Stagebuddy review of Petie, CALA instructor Lori Fischer’s most recent work.
“In Petie, a new play written by and starring Lori Fischer and directed by Martha Banta, the dark mistakes that haunt us never leave the downstage corner of our minds. This well-performed, thoughtful drama about a family haunted by a tragedy explores the intricacies of intimacy and the difficulty of moving on… Playwright Lori Fischer, as Bonnie, is able to connect with the emotional gravity of the character, and it’s impressive. Bonnie is a Medea, in many ways: she has lost a child, she wallows in her own psychosis.
And if Medea is the character of a lifetime, Fischer performs Bonnie with a like intensity. Fischer’s vocal, at times guttural, performance quality endows feeling and a deep connection to the emotion of the work. Her monologue work in particular is worth keeping your eye on.
