Pas de Deux review (Cherry Lane theater Mentor Project)

I was pleasantly delighted Monday night with Lisa Ramirez's solo performance of Pas de Deux at the Cherry Lane theater. It was a moving tribute to her brother, a ballet dancer, who died of alcoholism. Appearing on stage in a ballet tutu, she delivered her monologue addressing the audience, and speaking into a very large microphone. Little by little, Ramirez reveals details of her brother's struggles, her family's reaction to his death and her own feelings. One moment is very funny (tragicomic) when Ramirez impersonates her mother exclaiming: "he's gone!". 2 more nights left at the cherry lane.
