The Ryan Case 1873
“This clever piece of innovative theater was created by the high energy and multi-talented Carlo D’Amore, taking his audience back in time to visit New York’s dingy streets… A thoroughly enjoyable experience, made even more exciting by an accomplished cast in the “special art form” of interactive theater.”
The cast is excellent...peals of laughter...a fun evening, especially
for a group of friends. It's like your very own murder mystery party
on the streets of
New York City.
Tickled to Death
D’Amore and his troupe have their roots in improvisation, and it shows in the best possible way. What’s remarkable, though, is that through bits and pieces of information and character details, what emerges is a wonderful picture of a dark crime along with a convincing sense of lower class life in New York in 1873. As with the novels “The Alienist,” “Time and Again,” and “Winter’s Tale,” the details add dimension to the story — and to the fun. A truly wonderful way to spend an evening. Grab some friends and check it out.
What's been said about Carlo D'Amore:
“...A memorable extra special zing!”
“Ferocious fun!"
“Enchanting...Wry...Quirky sence of humor... conjures up Eddie Izzard with a little bit of Pee Wee Herman...Expert storytelling both on the page and on the stage!”
“an unflinching simmering kettle of bright ideas”
"an artist who has managed to take what he knows about in life and turn it into an entertaining, challenging, and deeply moving piece of theater!”
