The Effect
Various times depending on the day
Shaker Bridge Theater
"Hearts racing. Minds reeling. Knees buckling. Connie and Tristan have palpable chemistry - or is it a side effect of a new antidepressant? They are volunteers in a clinical trial, but their sudden and illicit romance forces the supervising doctors to face off over the ethical consequences of their work. The Effect takes on our pill-popping culture with humor and scintillating drama."

Even his approach to ballads and sambas have that lilt. They start out breezy or laid-back, but they are certain to have their burning moments. Count on it."
