Tony Brown, The Cleveland Plain Dealer
"It is one of the most exciting, original and confounding experiences I've witnessed in my 11 years covering Cleveland theater."
Christine Howey, Cleveland Scene Magazine
"There are a couple moments that linger in the memory, such as when one actor speaks the lines that another lip-synchs..."
"The actors from the first play join Koesters...in an attempt to merge the two works. But that unity is less important than the sum of the theatrical parts on display here. The other performers include Ray Caspio, Michael Prosen, Val Kozlenko, Darius Stubbs, and Amy Pawlukiewicz, all of whom give their all to make Paul's concept of O'Donnell's challenging theatrics resonate."
Roy Berko
"The Theatre Ninja production, as is the case with Paul's work, is well conceived. The actors are centered on their purposes, stay in character, and create the proper intensity. LACAN features Ray Caspio, Val Kozlenko, Ryan Lucas, Amy Pawlukiewicz, Michael Prosen, Nick Riley and Darius Stubbs...INOCULATIONS is a confounding yet fascinating evening of theatre."

Thanks to Doug Prinzivalli over at Dougsploitation, Who Killed Teddy Bear has become one of my favorite films. It was because of his blog post last year that I sought out the 1965 movie and discovered Sal Mineo. Read Doug's review of the film because he summed it up perfectly. This movie is creepy, insanely sexy, and daring. Besides Sal Mineo, it also stars Juliet Prowse and the great Elaine Stritch (currently playing Madame Armfeldt in the revival of Stephen Sondheim's A Little Night Music on Broadway).
I wanted to take a crack at designing a poster for the film; something that captured what I took away from it. Here's my design.

Bewitched is the first television show I remember watching. It was at my grandma's house. I sat in front of the tiny TV in her front room and became mesmerized by the animated opening sequence (which has been a huge influence on my illustration style). Then, Samantha's magic started - with sound effects! - and I fell in love. The twitch became an obsession. Elizabeth Montgomery and Samantha Stephens are two more women who have had a huge impact on my life.
I was never completely happy with the Samantha illustrations I completed a couple years ago, and the time was right to revisit how much Bewitched means to me.

This mind-bending double-header of plays includes the national premieres of WHO SHOT JACQUES LECAN and RADIO ROOSTER SAYS THAT'S BAD. Using rhythm and rhyme, songs and science, Inoculations is a crazed meditation on unconscious drives, millennial paranoia, and collective psychosis. Come for the pumpkin pie: stay for the hallucinations.
