CRITICAL MASS
A comedy by Joanne Sydney Lessner
“It’s a Ken Ludwig play, only smarter.” — Theatermania

Carrie Greenlea reviews live opera performances, skewering unsuspecting singers for everything from bad high notes to bad nose jobs. Her husband, Norman, reviews recordings, and, having failed at a singing career himself, prefers to equivocate rather than hurt anyone’s feelings. The cracks in their marriage and in their respective approaches to criticism are broken wide open when Stefano Donato, a mediocre Italian tenor whose career they have jointly ruined, moves in with them and proceeds to exact revenge!
