How To Disappear Completely and Never Be Found

Boston Court Performing Arts Center
70 N. Mentor Ave. Pasadena

When a young executive's life spirals out of control, overwhelmed with guilt, deceit and fear, he decides to "disappear," and pays a visit to a master of the craft in the form of a seafront fortune teller. Haunted by visitations from a pathologist who swears he is already lying flat out on her slab, he begins a nightmarish journey to the edge of existence that sees him stripped of everything that made him who he was.

"...Boston Court, known for its superbly effective production designs, outdoes itself in the eerie high-tech ambiance captured here, notably Keystone's scenic design, Christopher Kuhl's lighting, Ann Closs-Farley's costumes, John Zalewski's sound and original music, and Adam Flemming's video projections. Dialect coach Tracy Winters elicits stellar results."

"...How To Disappear Completely provides just the kind of beautifully tooled adventurous theater we have come to expect from The Theatre @ Boston Court. This time around, in addition, we have in our midst the most exciting breakthrough performance this reviewer has seen since Mark Ruffalo made a memorable Los Angeles debut in David Steen's Avenue A almost twenty years ago, and it has been achieved in exactly the same way: not by force of personality alone but by becoming the character. It's called acting. Meet Brad Culver."

"...Last February I posted a list of criteria I use when deciding which shows to review of the eighty or so I get invited to each month. I wrote, "Anything too experimental, too dark, upsetting or depressing, too ‘fringey,' is unlikely to make my calendar." All of these adjectives describe How To Disappear Completely And Never Be Found, and while many will I'm certain love every experimental, dark, upsetting, depressing, fringey moment of it, if you're like me, you'll probably want to see something more to your (our) liking."

"...Brad Culver brilliantly portrays Charley on a trip that is masterfully orchestrated by Nancy Keystone, who also provides the austere theatre design. Her direction is crisp and the design, helping to focus our attention on the desperate young man before us, effortlessly changes locations with the aid of lighting (Christopher Kuhl) video backgrounding (Adam Flemming), minimum changes of props (Robyn Taylor) and costumes (Ann Closs-Farley). The consistent cast of Time Winters, Valerie Spencer, Nick Mills and Carolyn Ratteray send Charley on his way."
