'Adventures In Mating' IBJ.com Review

8/23/08

IBJ.com
by Lou Harry


“Adventures in Mating,” had a fun gimmick but nothing to fill it. The premise is that a couple meets for a blind-date meal. Whenever a choice needs to be made (red vs. white wine, she kisses him/she slaps him), the waiter rings a bell and the audience makes a choice. Problem is, the characters are so broadly painted (both in the writing and the performing) that I didn’t care about whether or not they got together. The nearly full house was generous and seemed to have a good time while I had flashbacks to last season and remembered the Owensboro, Kentucky’s Merely Players weren’t funny then, either. The company’s founding artistic director, Alan Velotta, does a solid job as the waiter and deserves better.
