“In Convention, Danny Rocco’s raucous, wildly ambitious fact-based drama, a certain American political party sells its own soul to back an ill-equipped candidate as special interests consolidate power.”

“What the Sparrow Said by Danny Mitarotondo, produced by The Common Tongue, and now playing at Teatro LATEA as part of the 2011 Fringe Festival, is an outstanding example of what the Fringe Festival is supposed to be all about.

“The musical reference and its low key entry isn’t a stretch. Mitarotondo, an emerging New York playwright, refers to his script as a score. Much has been made of his innovative format.

It looks like a conductor’s orchestral score.”
