Moe Green Gets It In The Eye

Sy Syna
Back Stage Review

"The play is slow in unwinding, but it's peculiarities lift it above mere Mafia drama. Given RAPP Theater's artistic aesthetic, I'm sure it's director Cohen's intent to make Big John and his internal contradictions a paradigm for America - a nation were greed and spirituality co-exist, often with violent consequences."

Lawrence Van Gelder
New York Times Theater in Review

"Memories of Mario Puzo's and Francis Ford Coppola's Godfather meet memories of John Steinbeck's and Lewis Milestone's Of Mice and Men. Mr. Patellis as Big Johnny, Mr. Buckley as Slants and Lynellen Kagen as Mario's love, Lisa, bring their characters to credible life; and Mr. DiMurro once more displays talent."

"As racist, sexist bullies go, Det. Hunt Moore is insidiously good company."

"The Coyote Bleeds is grueling, funny and scary."

Cathy Seidner
New York Law Journal

"Although intended as a window into the world of police abuse and race-based crime solving, The Coyote Bleeds is much more than that. It is a spotlight on the soul of a man at the moment when the underpinnings of every facet of his life suddenly collapse and he is left alone, bereft of even his own philosophy of life."

Matthew Murray

Talkin' Broadway Theater in Review

"Even if DiMurro never shows all his cards, he displays just enough of them for Waiting For My Man to emerge as a thoughtful, poetic examination of a dark situation in which, at first glance, there would appear to be no room for such. That, in itself, is a notable achievement."

Anita Gates
New York Times Theater in Review

"Maria recites sad poetry, Slim praises cigarettes (''Isn't smoking the greatest?'') and Tic describes what goes on inside his head as 'like The Jerry Springer Show.' Waiting For My Man, smartly directed by Anthony Patellis, isn't always compelling. (That may be the price of some street-life authenticity.) But it has the ring of truth."

Andy Propst

Addiction in a Beckettian Ghetto.
"In Tony DiMurro's brisk and adrenaline-pumped Waiting For My Man, audiences are plunged into the No Exit-like futile world of heroine addiction. Sometimes lyric and poetic, sometimes angry and street smart, "Waiting" won't be for everyone, but does offer a fascinating, existential look into three people's lives."

"Game eventually causes great chaos and arguments over rules and teams. A smooth playing game is rare."
