AWARDS, NEWS, & REVIEWS
Cultural Capital on Two Lovely Black Eyes
Two Lovely Black Eyes, on the other hand, written by and starring Chris Harcum and directed by Aimee Todoroff, is steeped in sprezzatura; sprezzatura oozes from every pore and drips onto the stage in a puddle of tightly crafted theatre, created to look like a completely spontaneous phenomenon.
NYTheatre on Two Lovely Black Eyes
The potency of live performance is clearly demonstrated by the end of Two Lovely Black Eyes, as is Harcum’s impressive range as an actor and director Aimee Todoroff’s skill in maintaining tight control over an event whose very raison d’etre seems to be a celebration of anarchic freestyling.
Backstage on Rabbit Island, a Backstage Critic’s Pick
Director Aimee Todoroff also employs the right amount of satire and pathos in her staging. The nutty confrontations reach the edge of excess and stop short just before going over the cliff.
Cultural Capital on Rabbit Island
Director Aimee Todoroff sews the whole thing together into a seamless hour of hilarity.

Aimee Todoroff’s staging of the show is splendid.
NYTheatre on Green
. . . all I need is a script that’s smart and heartfelt, a skillful actor who is determined to tell me a story, and a director that guides me into this new world with trust and care. This is what we get in actor/playwright Chris Harcum’s fine new one-man play Green, directed by Aimee Todoroff.
