“Catch 22”

April 18, 2016 by Eddie Reynolds Leave a Comment

Catch 22
Joseph Heller
Los Altos Stage Company

Bryan Moriarty, Gary Landis, and
Joe Antonicelli
With brave intentions and a cast of enthusiastic actors giving it their best, Los Altos Stage Company takes on the troubled script of Catch 22, hoping to reverse it troubled history to stage a winner.  Unfortunately, Joseph Heller’s Catch 22 novel-turned-script does not lend itself any better in 2016 to the stage than it did in 1971, no matter how much cast and director do their darndest to make it so.
My full review can be read at http://www.talkinbroadway.com/page/regional/sanjose/sj38.html
Rating: 2 E
Catch 22 continues through May 1 2016 at the Los Alto Stage Company, 97 Hillview Avenue, Los Altos, CA.  Tickets are available online at http://losaltosstage.org/single-tickets/ or Monday – Friday, 3 – 6 p.. in person at the box office or by calling 650-941-0551.
