The Ice-Breaker, The Laguna Playhouse (2007)
Cast: Andrew Barnicle (Lawrence) & Monette Magrath (Sonia)
For complete information on this interesting play, see The Laguna Playhouse's The Ice-Breaker page.

Some of the best plays & musicals I've seen have been with small casts. The cast of two was definitely a good sign before the play started.

When The Ice-Breaker began, I was a bit worried that it could be a very long play. It starts with readings from a diary on the ice (curtain) and I was afraid it would be a long night. Fortunately, the diary got interesting and the part where we were being read to didn't take long.

The script for The Ice-Breaker must have taken forever to memorize. I was so impressed with the banter that Monette Magrath had to memorize, in particular. Sonia, her character, is almost never silent. Sonia actually reminded me a lot of the characters in Gilmore Girls and Monette Magrath looks a bit like Paris, which probably helped with the connection to the fast banter of Gilmore Girls.

I definitely recommend catching The Ice-Breaker at The Laguna Playhouse or other theatres if you miss it here (it's only here for a couple more weeks). It's an interesting play that is very well done. The cast is wonderful and the The Laguna Playhouse did a great job with another play.

Grade: B+
