The one-night-only performance of the eight little plays created for Naked Stage's 24 Hour Theatre Project 2012 has come and gone. Hopefully, the sleep deprived playwrights are starting to feel human again today...

It's likely a goodly number of actors, directors and certainly some playwrights slept in late this morning. They earned it. Many spent 7 p.m. Sunday to 10 p.m. Monday being creative at gunpoint.

With the exception of its popular annual 24-Hour Theatre Project (Which will happen again at 8 pm Nov. 12 at Gablestage), The Naked Stage produces shows sporadically, whenever time, funding and inspiration coalesce for cofounders Katherine and Antonio Amadeo...

And I do mean All. Antonio Amadeo wrote a play. Then he designed it. Then he produced it.Then he directed it.And, of course, he acted in it. And then he presented it on stage at the Pelican Theatre. All this with great wit, imagination and energy.
Review # 1: A Man Puts On A Play
Superstar, Antonio Amadeo, Does It All - Produces, Writes, Acts, Directs, Builds A Set - At Naked Stage
And, Makes It Look Easy

MIAMI SHORES, FL - South Florida super-star Antonio Amadeo actually makes it all seem so simple!
That is because:
1. He - with his large student crew - actually build a set before your eyes
2. He is brilliantly honest in the truism which most "theatre folk" already know, it is difficult to prioritize your on stage life against your personal family existence.
3. He actually produces, writes, acts and directs the entire show - A Man Puts On A Play - his latest foray into multifaceting at his Naked Stage theatre
4. He then writes a short play which, by everyone's estimation, could be a pacesetter in best new work, if the last 20 minutes of this opus could stand alone in a short play contest.
That may seem a lot to accomplish in a couple of hours - but Amadeo proves anew he is at the top of his game as an actor, playwright and scenic designer. Furthermore, he is gutsier than most in the crazy business of theatre, in producing such an avant-garde work as he has done at the Pelican Theatre at Barry University. If I were a little freer with certain words, I might say this work smacks of genius.
A Man Puts On A Play follows Amadeo and his company as they frantically race against the clock to put up a show before the crowds arrive on Opening Night. Just when you think the building of the set (with background music) is over, the audience is asked to take a 10-minute break before they actually see a brilliant one-act, short play starring Amadeo, Andy Quiroga and new comer Kathleen Robiou. (working, of course, on the set that had been built by the three primary actors plus Shawn Burgess, Stephanie Meskauskas, Ricardo Redd, Victor Rodriguez, Kaitlin Sarnacki and Jake Tompkins.)
