NFCT Production of RIPCORD is a Must See Comedy!

NFCT Production of RIPCORD is a Must See Comedy!

The roaring laughter filled The North Fork Community Theatre during the production of Ripcord, a comedy by David Lindsay-Abaire. This show is perhaps the funniest show I have ever reviewed. Please find your way to Mattituck to see it. I guarantee you will have a “best time.” The show is directed by Robert Horn, with Stephen Ness assistant directing; Dee Andes did an excellent job as costume consultant, as did set designer Robert Horn. The set construction is by The Tuesday Crew with stage management by Jeanne Arnold. Producer Kim Cappiello has assembled a phenomenal team that has made this production a success and winner.



The plot centers around two roommates at a nursing facility and a bet they make to change how they are living with each other at the facility. One wants the room to herself, the other the bed by the window. What ensues is pure comedy that had the audience actually cheering, applauding, and laughing from the opening lines.



This NFCT production of Ripcord features Linda Pentz as Marilyn Dunne. Ms. Pentz owns the stage, her facial expressions, movements and physical comedy energy are highlighted along with her sense of timing and stage presence. Her chemistry with co-star Dee Martin as Abby Binder, is spellbinding. Dee Martin is awesome in her role, too. Her dry delivery of her lines and eye rolls are perfection. She counters Linda Pentz’s energy with the reserve of a seasoned pro who knows how to bring a character to life under the bright lights of a live stage performance.



Mark Ahrens as Scott, the kind and diligent employee of the nursing home effort, is as perfect and effective as Jack McBrayer’s Kenneth, of the hit 30 Rock. Great timing with an array of punctuating one liners, the audience loved him from the moment he walked onto the stage.



Gillian Schroeder as Colleen and woman in white is excellent with positive energy, smiles and clear delivery of her lines. Also impressive is Eileen Blydenburgh as Denise and zombie butler. She was a force in her roles. I am a fan of Michael Horn for many years. He plays three roles — Benjamin, Lewis, and the clown. Michael Horn is a big talent. He has the voice, the demeanor and the panache to add to any show he participates in.



The Video Wall Design work of both Robert Taylor and Ernesto Sosa, especially during the parachute scene, is as good as it gets. It actually received applause from the astute NFCT crowd.



I strongly recommend you get to see this extremely entertaining show. It is that good. It is well beyond the expectations of community theater. In fact, it is actual “Tony Award” quality for a reproduced comedy! The show runs Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2:30 p.m. through February 5. Tickets are $30 and can be purchased at nfct.com or by clicking here.

  • Learning About Baby Animals with the Wildlife Rescue Center

Early one morning last spring, I opened the living room curtains and was surprised (to say the least) to discover a tiny baby deer lying on the concrete driveway between my car and a retaining wall. I called the Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center in Hampton Bays, thinking someone would need to rescue the baby. @wildliferescuecenter

  • Pure Action With Zero Doubt

A way to approach life as well as art.  At least that’s how abstract artist Edward Lentsch, whose works are in hundreds of public and private collections worldwide, including those of William Shatner and Kelly Ripa, chooses to navigate his journey.  He has worked with iconic designers Holly Hunt, Loree Rodkin, Faye Resnick, Terence Disdale, and “Forbes Designated Architect to the Stars,” Ardie Tavangarian and if you thought you saw his art featured in the Grammy Award Winning music video by Enrique Iglesias, “I Like It,” you would be right.  Lentsch is represented exclusively in the Hamptons by The White Room Gallery and is featured in their current exhibit YIN YANG. YIN being figurative.  YANG abstract. @whiteroomgallerybh

  • Sixty Something: The Forever Gifts of the East End Sky

Watching a full moon rise above the waters of an ocean beach on the east end of Long Island is a religious experience. The moon comes up ever so slowly on the horizon and hovers just barely in sight. Then it mightily rises along the perimeter of the dark, clear sky and the ocean’s waving waters.
