Review Quote:
“”The Liar” has a big vocabulary of comedy. Zipping past are sight, verbal and sound gags. There’s banter — and scenes of unspoken comedy. It’s sexy. It’s sassy. It’s loopy, corny, stupid, silly, frothy, and fun.” Warren Gurds Green Bay Press Gazette.
When I was charging for producing my plays it was a flat fee of $50 per production, no matter how big the audience… That seems like a money making opportunity for someone.
