Poster Boys
Michele Riml's comedy-drama is about kinds of "branding," in and out of advertising. Caroline's a hotshot ad exec. She wants a fresh approach for a credit union account. So she makes a gay couple poster boys. The pair she chooses: Carson's a devout Catholic (and the church objects to the ad), and Jack left her at the altar 13 years ago. For Moxie Theatre/Diversionary Theatre's co-production, Mat Scott's impressive, abstract set and Michelle Caron's lighting enable flash cuts that director Delicia Turner Sonnenberg orchestrates with precision. John Anderson, as kindhearted Jack, and Justin Lang as scheming Brad, add dimensions to sketchy characters. Some of the funniest scenes: Caroline (an arch Julie Anderson Sachs) has a "fear of flying" (one of the play's many "brandings"); her conscience (Charles Maze in drag and a red, Prince Valiant wig), visits her in flight with advice both sage and witty.
Worth a try.
