The Gun

Ruskin Group Theatre
3000 Airport Ave. Santa Monica

You are who you pretend to be, until the day you wake up when the sun is shining just right, and you look in the mirror and wonder…is this ALL I wanted? After a failed callback for a Broadway show, a struggling actor has a sudden change of fortune while heading back to his childhood friend's upscale apartment. Now infused with his newly found confidence and honesty, he unapologetically tries to save those around him. In doing so, he wreaks havoc with his bid for change in order to find happiness. Is living a truthful life really possible?

"...The dialogue borders on the didactic but is redeemed by the skilled performers and the deft direction by Dave Florek, which gives this world premiere the flow and impetus it enjoys. Lighting design is by Edward Salas, set by Hillary Bauman. which is rather spartan but well served, with seamless scene changes from an apartment, to a theatre stage, a street and a bar, all done by the accomplished actors. Mouchette van Heldsdingen is convincing as a casting director, Hamilton Matthews personifies a homeless man camping out on the sidewalk and L. Emille a sympathetic bartender."

"...A solid acting ensemble fires up the Ruskin Group Theatre's world premiere of playwright Justin Yoffe's THE GUN. Dave Florek sure-handedly directs his talented cast at a brisk pace in this 60-minute one-act brimming with suspenseful taunt and tensioned urgency."
