Take Five(s): Ensembles, Pairings, Debuts, Technical Achievements, Shockers, and Accidents

By Mike Schulz

Tom Walljasper, Sandra D Rivera, Tristan Layne Tapscott, and Erin Dickerson in Are We There Yet Five Extraordinary Ensembles

An actor friend of mine says he always wants to be the worst performer in everything he's in, because if the rest of the cast is doing stronger work than he is, that means the show is in really, really good shape. With that in mind, any actor worth his or her salt would be thrilled to be the worst performer among these five ensembles.

Undressed to Kill: "The Full Monty," at the Circa '21 Dinner Playhouse through November 8

Put the two together and a foot-tapping, spirit-lifting evening of song erupts.
