New York is surprisingly not frigid this time of year, but Frigid NYC is here and things are heating up at the Kraine Theatre. One of the shows that I saw was the confusingly named
A Crisis Called New York. It almost seems to have been written to cash in on NYC caché, even though nothing seems to have anything much to do with NYC in particular. But whoever said that NYCers weren't stereotypically self-centered?
Written by Alisha Espinoza,
A Crisis tells a tangled set of love stories, sometimes with dancing and sung music. It's an entertaining combination with a little bit of a reality TV show feel. The vignettes come fast with the 8-person ensemble; one featuring Danielle Patlingrao and Jordan Schroeder was especially of interest. The exploration of our neuroses and insecurities is universal.
