The Ripple Effect

By Casey Ross

“Stop me if you’ve heard this one: A homeless former teacher, a cynical priest, an orphan teen, a stripper, a drag queen and the eccentric owner of the building where they live set out to change the world. No, you haven’t heard it, because this original drama with its philosophical underpinnings and a few echoes of “La Boheme” (and maybe a bit of “Hair”) – without the singing – is brand new…”

Gallery/Portraits

By Casey Ross
” ‘Gallery’ has stayed with me all seven years since its inception, and it’s too soon to tell how long ‘Portraits’ will linger seeing as it just debuted last year…’Gallery’ is a strongly written piece dealing with art/Art in an easily approachable manner infused with lighthearted humor. Where other writers might opt for deadly earnest sincerity, Casey Ross, the producer and playwright, deals with these issues in an unprepossessing way.”

Queue

By Casey Ross

“I am a fan of the contemporty, beat-up style of Ross…This play has so much potential, and can be truly funny. Ross has a knack for creating the lovably downtrodden and plucky. Should she go on to revise Queue again, I will certainly be in the audience.”

She Stoops to Conquer

By Oliver Goldsmith
Adapted By Casey Ross

“Ross takes the 1700s Oliver Goldsmith comedy “She Stoops to Conquer” and gives it a groovalicious update. Like the 18th century, the 1980s were a time of big hair, regretful fashion and wacky music. In the meantime, Florida has become synonymous with rednecks, stupidity and all manner of bizarre behavior. Add these two elements to the script of the classic and slightly bawdy play and you have [Catalyst]’s latest entertaining diversion…”

“ONE OF THE TOP 10 ADULT SHOWS OF THE FRINGE!”

“The choreography is often clever, as with an opening number that sees our cast shuffling back and forth like zombies. One great on-stage effect had the entire audience cringing and laughing and led to a clean-up that managed to be just as funny…this show could grow into something very interesting indeed.”

Timon of Athens

By William Shakespeare

“[Brian] Hartz (Timon) is in his element with this complex character, keeping him easy to root for as both the generous noble of the first act and the wild man in the woods of the second…As both parable and intriguing drama, “Timon” is worth making the effort to see, and kudos to Ross for tackling the difficult job of polishing this rare gem. ”
