Legendary actor and comedian Freddie Prinze comes to life on stage in PRINZE: THE ONE-MAN SHOW. PRINZE runs through November 18 at The Sheen Center for Thought & Culture in the Black Box Theater.
“Sonera, is dynamic. …Gripping. Sonera meticulously charts Prinze‘s descent into furious self-destruction with enormous skill. … Melissa Cardello-Linton’s direction highlights the piece’s strong dramatic arc. … a fascinating slice of show business history as well as an arresting portrait of a talented performer caught in the contradictory demands of American culture.” – Lighting and Sound America
“If you’re a longtime fan of Freddie Prinze and his pioneering career, this homage to an unforgettable virtuoso of comedy and a life ended too soon is a must see. If you haven’t yet been exposed to his groundbreaking work, Prinze is the perfect introduction. …Sonera is remarkable. … Sonera not only bears an uncanny resemblance to Prinze, with his ‘70s-style hair and mustache, bellbottom jeans and striped dress shirt, but also delivers a striking characterization of him, recreating his familiar facial expressions, voice, and mannerisms in an empathetic and moving portrayal that is nothing short of brilliant. His high-energy tour-de-force performance is perfectly nuanced, timed, and calibrated.” – DC Metro Arts
“The acting is incredible. And there is a delicious treat in Sonera as Prinze doing an impression of Lenny Bruce. This layering made such a beautiful moment done with the deftness of a true artist. The character development to the likeness of the public Prinze was spot on. Sonera captures that casual style Prinze had where he would tell the joke as if it was coming to him in the moment organically. Sonera then, with Prinze-level genius, jumps into impressions of the people in the scene he is painting that are so vivid that we crack up.” – The Front Row Center
