About me: " FOOD FOR FISH Adam Szymkowicz hangs his whimsical, semipoetic story on the hook of a plot resembling The Three Sisters, although parallels between Anton Chekhov’s characters and Szymkowicz’s three siblings who live together in Manhattan and pine to move to New Jersey should probably not be pushed too insistently. The story revolves around a young, suicidal writer named Bobbie (Joe Egender) who folds chapters of his novel-in-progress into wine bottles and places them in the Hudson River. He also takes to New York’s streets at night to kiss appreciative women he has studied. Meanwhile, his novel manipulates the lives of Barbara (Justin Alston), Alice (Inger Tudor) and Sylvia (Mandi Moss), who miss their late father so much that they’ve kept his coffin in their apartment a year after his death. Barbara’s husband, Dexter (Lauren Letherer), is drifting apart from her, and is drawn instead to her sister Alice — a science researcher who requires her first-time dates to provide her with DNA swabs and blood samples. This is the kind of play in which the writer Bobbie’s characters not only talk back to him but fall in love with him. It’s also the kind whose gender-bending includes the playwright’s strategy of having Barbara played by a male and Dexter by a woman. (Director Heather Holloway’s production takes this a step further by casting Barbara and Alice with African-Americans, and Sylvia with a Caucasian.) Sometimes these conceits stray into the no-man’s land called Cute, but overall Szymkowicz has written a refreshingly perceptive work about how love, work and interior narratives act to both blind and free the individual. Holloway directs a charming cast whose members grow on us without pandering to our expectations." - Steven Mikulan, LA Weekly
"the cast is uniformly good" - Jose Ruiz, reviewplays.com
"Adam Szymkowicz puts a fresh spin on Anton Chekhov's most popular play in this hilarious facelift of The Three Sisters, performed by LA's multi-talented theatre of NOTE. Three sisters from New York put their father to rest in the Hudson River, and as he quickly becomes nourishment for the river denizens, they confront their individual choices and assess if, and how, the unraveling threads of their lives can be salvaged. Examining the least flattering tendencies of human nature both draws the siblings closer and threatens to pull them apart, showing that, as in life, tragedy and comedy exist side by side." - Flavorpill LA
"Director Heather Holloway has assembled a cracker-jack cast.. Alston plays a credibly masculine woman..Tudor makes Alice genuinely touching.. Moss wins our sympathy as Sylvia..Egender offers charm and conviction as Bobbie.. Letherer performs credibly as Dexter.." Neal Weaver, Backstage West
This is not the story of the dead father, who lies in the middle of the living room awaiting his burial, or the poet mother who died young, or even the lab mice used to isolate the gene of love. It is the story of the three sisters who search for validation amidst the loneliness of the city, of the boy who frees them, and of the Hudson River, which may hold the greatest story ever told. This is the story of finding home.

Loosely based on Chekhov's "The Three Sisters", Adam Szymkowicz's portrayal of longing and alienation in the city of Manhattan is whimsical, satirical and arrestingly real. The characters search past themselves for validation and identity only to find a trap of social gender perception. In filling the need of who they are expected to be, they are led farther from who they really are. With the final depositing of father's body into the Hudson River, the sisters are able to discover the life force in each other that offers the ultimate strength: the unconditional love of home and family. This is not the story of the dead father, who lies in the middle of the living room awaiting his burial, or the poet mother who died young, or even the lab mice used to isolate the gene of love. It is the story of the three sisters who search for validation amidst the loneliness of the city, of the boy who frees them, and of the Hudson River, which may hold the greatest story ever told. This is the story of finding home.

NOTE also upholds a tradition of acclaimed late-night shows, first launched in 1988, in addition to the now-annual, notorious, celebrity-crowd art magnet, The Hollywood Performance Marathon.
