Incitation to the Dance Reviews
Stage and Cinema- Recommended
"...Incitation to the Dance is not a great play, but it’s better than the production suggests. Besides, any play like this that has male nudity, a pie in the face, and well-timed lederhosen, is worth a look."
Stage Scene LA- Not Recommended
"...An intriguing premise-sultry queer Millennial insinuates himself into the lives of a couple of gay married Boomers-falls flat in Theatre West's overlong, overwrought, credibility-defying World Premiere melodrama Incitation to the Dance."
Showmag- Highly Recommended
"...Incitation to the Dance, written by member playwright Michael Van Duzer, is sweet, sexy, and celebratory. The world of two long-time gay lovers, Malcolm (Michael Gambiano) and Asher (David Mingrino), have their world turned upside down when Finn (Casey Alcoser) follows Malcolm home from the club where he’s a dancer."
Stage Raw- Recommended
"...Noticeable about the script of Incitation to the Dance are its intriguing parallels to Tom Jacobson’s recent work Tasty Little Rabbit, a play which premiered at Moving Arts last year depicting two older gay men and their young male lover in 1936 Fascist Italy. Though their cultural contexts and thematic conclusions are vastly different, the contrast in exploration of intergenerational masc-for-masc relationships between artists of different disciplines may intrigue viewers who wish to compare."
