World Premiere Production

No Proscenium: Carving Out a Slice of Theatre Life at ‘Measure STILL for Measure’

“There’s J. Todd (Alexander Matos), who brings a highly physical performance and exuberance as a young actor portraying Claudio and through his friendship with Griffin (Randolph Thompson), a queer actor portraying the bawdy Lucio.”

Stage and Cinema: #METOO FOR MEASURE

It seems that the playwright is asking us to view the unordinary in the ordinary. One athletic young actor (the very funny Alexander Matos as J. Todd who plays Claudio) is jumping about with enthusiasm, but we look closer and wonder, Does he really not know stage right from left, or is he actually insecure and fragile?

As thrilling and riveting a theatrical experience as I’ve had in my fifteen years of reviewing (and one that makes its points without hitting an audience over the head with them), Measure Still For Measure is innovative Los Angeles theater at its Boston Court Pasadena best.
