Damaged Furniture Reviews
LA Splash- Recommended
"...Dusti Cunningham's set is an apropos backdrop for the hilarious goings-on, with Kevin Vasquez' lighting adding to the fun. Special kudos to Brian Levin for his video and sound design which turn the play into a multi-media event. And let's not forget the ominous disembodied off-stage voice of Jo (Drew Droege), Doug's acting agent. Audience Alert: Some of the humor is pretty raw and not for the faint-of-heart."

"...This is a brilliant, laugh-out-loud comedy with gorgeously awful characters to love. Of course, every single actor is fantastic, I really couldn't single anyone out...no point. But the writing is the star here. Howard Skora has invented quite a kooky and ridiculous lot. All brimming with psychosis and bitterness and unspoken fears...hilarious. The humor is loud and frank and beautifully wrought by these impressive actors, their perfect timing and their delicious characters. Bravo to the director Jim Fall for giving the words and the actors the room they needed to be this good."
Stage Raw- Highly Recommended
"...In Damaged Furniture, playwright Howard Skora stakes out that familiar, if still verdant genre, the "crazy family" comedy. The show boasts quick-witted, funny dialogue and vivid multidimensional characters. At the same time, for all its glib charm and humor, the play is laced with an underlying melancholy, creating an atmosphere that's part sitcom, part piquant meditation on our difficult relationship with family. It's surprisingly wise and funny."
