“Genuine kindnessthe
type that isn’t coated in mawkishness or undercut with ironyis
about as rate in the theater as a talking cat. Kenny Finkle’s INDOOR/OUTDOOR has
both. …it’s the improbably story of a kitten who follows the path of so many
heroes by leaving home to find herself. It is also a clever, big-hearted comedy
that makes it easy to feel good.
Finkle gives his central characters rich detail, letting comedy arise
naturally from their interactions. More than making jokes, he’s crafting a
story.
INDOOR/OUTDOOR is less about cats than about glorious, permanent love.”
Mark Blankenship, Variety
“…What a wonderful
treat…to discover…a refreshing and clever play made more, well, `purrrrfect’…
Finkle’s story offers a crafty humor and a few lessons in life to be gleaned
from it, proving it ultimately touched by a poet…”
Travis Michael Holder, BackStage
“Samantha is a cat
with a story to tell. It’s a good story—poignant,
witty and even a little wacky at times.
And though it’s a cat’s story, it’s human at its core, which makes Kenny
Finkle’s new play INDOOR/OUTDOOR so enjoyable…”
David Cameron, The
Ithaca Journal
