Solo Shows Gracing City Stages
By Elisabeth Vincentelli

For theatergoers who love uncrowded stages, the coming months bring a range of works, from musical comedies to Shakespearean dramas.
Solo shows have been around as long as there has been theater - longer, actually, if we count storytelling by a campfire. There is an elemental intimacy about the format and, let's face it, an economic appeal at a time of belt-tightening.

Despite their seemingly restrictive approach, one-person productions come in many shapes and forms: tales told by a single narrator and ones in which the performer embodies many characters, for example; dramatic yarns; and comic efforts that can flirt with stand-up.

The coming months are a boon for theatergoers who love uncrowded stages, starting with the fall iteration of the cornucopia known as the UNITED SOLO THEATER FESTIVAL (through Nov. 19 at
Theater Row).
