...everyday. The color blue, a color that Elswick likes for its ability to communicate melancholy, is used throughout her work. The emotion conveyed through the artwork transforms her paintings and their subjects—a woman standing on a winding road, a mother and a daughter, a man with his head in his hand—into melancholic songs. The lyricism emanates from the careful attention given to the eyes; the observer can see into the souls of the characters and enter into their journey.

After his character fails his mission and becomes brainless, Johnson’s entire physicality changes, making for some of the funniest non-spoken moments of the show. As the straight-faced man, Johnson may have the most difficult job in a play otherwise filled with absurd, broadly-played comedic characters, but he handles the portrayal with ease and a unique brand of wit and ingenuity.Among the ridiculous and idiotic, Steven Dyer might have the flashier role with his over-the-top Count...
