April 4-10, 2002 artpicks Holy Mypos!
TheaterTheater should not be about big names, or, at least, having a name attached to a show is not reason enough to recommend it. But for heaven's sake, the latest production by Wilmington's Playhouse Theatre, Stones in His Pockets, stars Balki! Yes, Bronson Pinchot of Perfect Strangers' fame will join Christopher Burns to play 15 different characters in a comedy about a small Irish village that becomes a location for a Hollywood movie. The play's New York run garnered three Tony nominations, and in London it won an Olivier Award for best comedy. So you should see it for its artistic merit, not to giggle to yourself while you remember that movie where Pinchot played a loony psychic helping out detective John Larroquette. And not to make jokes about Cousin Larry Applay-ton or the dance of joy. (If you missed both of those references, then you obviously had more of a life than I did in high school.) After all, I saw a production of Twelfth Night with Max Wright (hello, the dad on ALF), and it was really a fine production, despite my being utterly starstruck. Stones in His Pockets, Opens Fri., April 5, runs through April 14, The Playhouse Theatre, Hotel du Pont, Wilmington, Del., 800-338-0881, www.playhousetheatre.com.
