Report From New York: ‘American Buffalo’ Again Dives Into the Nation’s Lower Depths

Despite The 10-Foot Star, ‘Mastodon’ Not Just Child’s Play
Yes, there is broad humor, over-the-top characters, cartoonish sets, a fairy tale vibe and a 10-foot tall puppet, but Theatre Lab makes it clear that Rachel Teagle’s world premiere script of The Impracticality of Modern-Day Mastodons is not children’s theater, but an adult evaluation of dreams.
