Thinking Cap’s ‘Death of Disney’ Is Wonderful World Of Challenging Theater
A Public Reading of an Unproduced Screenplay about the Death of Walt Disney is not easy theater, by any means, but not one that Thinking Cap would ever shy away from. Their tagline is “theatre exploding with thought” and if any play fits the mission, this one does
Thinking Cap’s Droll “Or,” Is 21st Century Restoration Comedy
“Or,” is a delightful daffy farce underpinned with social commentary that fits Thinking Cap’s eclectic bent for thought-provoking comedies and dramas that are aggressively off-beat, have a literary bent, or at a minimum are a step away from predictable mainstream fare.

Thinking Cap’s Wilde Ride Takes ‘Earnest’ To A 1978 Disco Ball
Thinking Cap Theatre sets The Importance of Being Earnest in a madcap lampoon of New York City’s disco era.

Hirschman’s Solely Subjective Summation Of Shows That Shouldn’t Be Missed
These are not at all necessarily what we predict will be the best shows this season (although they may be) or the best attended or the most popular or the most award-winning. We don’t care. These are the shows we most want to see for a variety of reasons.

In Thinking Cap Theatre’s Waiting For Waiting For Godot, the absurdity of life is moved from the center stage spotlight of Samuel Beckett’s play in progress to the dingy dark wings where two understudies are waiting in vain to go on.
Thinking Cap Hosts Comic Daffiness In The Book Of Liz
A naïve young woman from an isolated religious cult called the Squeamish (think Amish) finds herself in an oversized Mr. Peanut outfit on a highway giving the finger to honking motorists. Such daffy nonsense is indicative of the delightful satire in Thinking Cap Theatre’s The Book of Liz, a hoot by Amy and David Sedaris.
