Oregonian theater review: The absurd "House of Blue Leaves" (05/21/08)

"Sarah Lucht and Ted Roisum star in John Guare's "House of Blue Leaves" at Profile Theatre. If we didn't want so much from life, we wouldn't be so disappointed when we didn't get it.

The Oregonian Praises A Few Stout Individuals

Posted 02/19/08

"This is a complex play with thirteen characters and at least as many perspectives on memory -- Western vs. Eastern, diseased vs. healthy, popular vs. private, present vs. historical, painful vs. pleasant -- in styles ranges from realism to fantasy and farce. Profile director Pam Sterling does an admirable job of keeping it under control, splicing the disparate elements into a potent whole.

The Profile production has much to praise, including a cast that is strong from top to bottom and a set and costumes that aid unobtrusively in the separation and blending of the imaginary and the real."
