Rebel Without a Pause

Unrestrained Reflections on September 11th

Unrestrained reflections on September 11th are dynamically offered by noted New York comedian, Reno.

The Off-Broadway run of Reno: Rebel Without a Pause ended in August 2002, so Reno could take the show on tour and promote Nancy Savoca's film of the show, which had its world premiere on September 11th, 2002, at the Toronto International Film Festival.

The poignant and insightful performances have received acclaim from coast-to-coast:

"We need performers like Reno to give us fresh views of the big picture and to dare to suggest the unsuggestable: that American's newfound patriotism, for instance, may not be such a good thing. We feel good about her because she announces up front that she is depressive and angry, so we can look at our own neuroses as charming quirks. And the woman is consistently, energetically, loudly funny."
- Anita Gates, New York Times

"Heartfelt, brutally honest, and certainly funny, anyone who can find genuine humor in September 11th deserves our attention...Brilliantly on target and at the same time outrageously provocative."
- Roma Torre, NY1

"You WON'T find this kind of cogent, political, progressive theatre anywhere else these days."
- David Rothenberg, Pacifica Radio

Seating is limited: reservations are required.
