“The How and the Why” “Opens Eyes,” Astounds and Thrives

Yesterday I experienced an eye opening theatre experience, viewing “The How and the Why” at Sheen Center (18 Bleeker Street in New York City).

The story with its evolutionary biological theories and discussion, performed by Karen Leiner and Arielle Goldman, informed and entertained, doing so with pathos and humor.

Each performer was superb going back and forth with/at each other with brief interludes for drinks and popcorn, conveniently located on stage, adding to the intense, moving experience.

Both the writer Sarah Treem and the director Austin Pendleton are fantastic, each a personal favorite for past work and “The How and the Why” certainly increases their stature.
