86'd Reviews
Los Angeles Times- Recommended
"...Would that all indie films translated to the stage as well as "86'd" at Theatre 68. Jon Polito and Darryl Armbruster's dark comedy about collective moral equivalency in a late-night diner weathers some blips in tone and casting to hold us in uncomfortably laughing thrall."
LA Weekly- Recommended
"...Watching these scoundrels stumble from one desperate, idiotic scheme and mishap to another is a kick, and director Ronnie Marmo keeps the comic chaos finely tuned. Notwithstanding its predictable plot twists, the show is thoroughly entertaining."
Backstage- Somewhat Recommended
"...But in the end, we're left looking for something we can believe in underneath the fun bits and one-liners. Add it all up and there's too much that we simply don't buy."

"...Inspiring' No. Inconsequential entertainment' Maybe…."
Stage Scene LA- Somewhat Recommended
"...What happens when you take an obscure direct-to-video movie from the ‘90s, adapt it as a stage comedy, edit it down from 86 minutes to a little over an hour, give it a new title and World Premiere it at Hollywood's Theatre 68' The answer is 86'd, an enjoyable albeit slight (and very short) comedy that has quite a bit going for it … and against it as well."

"...Suffice it to say, Joshua Ravetch, the former Artistic Director of The Stella Adler Conservatory and Theater has written and directed a play that works well."
WeHo News- Recommended
"...Ronnie Marno expertly directs his ensemble cast with comic finesse."

"...One November Yankee, now onstage at NoHo Arts, may not be the greatest play ever written, but certainly manages to entertain as well as provoke."
