Charlotte is super excited to be reuniting with her friends at Rhinstone Gorilla Burlesque in Good Idea/Bad Idea, their fully-scripted tribute to the Animaniacs and all the other Warner Brothers cartoon characters! Charlotte will be appearing in a hilarious 10 minute parody of Sunday In the Park With George as Rita the Cat, who was originally voiced by Bernedette Peters. The show guest stars Jo Boobs, the headmistress of the New York School of Burlesque and author of The Burlesque Handbook.
Rhinestone Gorilla Burlesque's monthly show at the Triad has been a featured critics' pick in both Time Out New York and Flavorpill, and the group was recently featured in BUST Magazine.

The bad news? Callous Cad has closed ater 3 glorious weekend. The Good news? Despite mixed feelings about the entire Cheerful Insanity suite, Jay Reisberg of Culture Catch wrote the most glowing review of Charlotte any young actress could ask for:
"The treat of the evening was watching Charlotte Pines as the Magical Being. Ms. Pines is a performer in the tradition of Imogene Coco: a consummate comedienne and a gifted singer and dancer. In addition, Ms. Pines’s sense of whimsy and theatrical lunacy called to mind the best work of June Foray, who is best remembered for her work with Stan Freberg and the many voices she provided in Rocky and Bullwinkle. She also reminded me of the unique Black Eyed Susan (Susan Carlson) in her numerous hilarious roles over many years with The Ridiculous Theatrical Company, in plays such as Reverse Psychology and Secret Lives of the Sexists. Alas, it would seem that today there are few outlets left to fully utilize Ms. Pines’s considerable talents. I hope she is discovered by some discerning producers and hits the big time."
Thank you so much, Jay! Read the article in its entirety HERE!

Check out this amazing blurb by Andy Webster, whose review of both Callous Cad and Penetrating the Space appeared last night online for the New York Times! Read it HERE!
"Offering enlightenment is a Magical Being (the delightful Charlotte Pines of “Play Dead” as the spirit of love) ... Ms. Pines’s irrepressible sprite is an enchanting foil to Mr. Chao’s petulant and tearful neurotic."
Or pick up a New York Times today, the full review of Cheerful Insanity is on page C4!!

UPDATE - 15 August 2010:
Due to the open-ended nature of Play Dead, Charlotte and the Callous Cad crew have parted ways out of necessity, but not out of a lack of mutual admiration and camaraderie. Charlotte wishes the production the huge success its madcap and insightful team deserves!
