Expertly crafted with witty dialogue and seamless shifts from one location to another, Sterner’s comedy explores the high-stakes maneuvers of making money for investors rather than products for consumers. Piedmont Oakland Rep, a promising young company, presents Jerry Sterner’s satirical examination of Wall Street etiquette through April 12. Director John McMullen’s preshow music, such as Madonna’s “Material Girl,” sets the tone as the play begins. Rob Bradshaw’s minimal set keeps the action flowing as actors finish one scene while walking into the next. Cell phones the size of bricks add a nice 1980s touch.

McMullen’s five-person cast does a nice job capturing the various characters; although, some cast members, especially Mermer, would benefit from faster pacing and higher energy levels, Jefferds and Wood (Elizabeth Dunne takes over her role in April) hanami ballet - white do well as the older couple trying to preserve a way of life for themselves and their community with Jefferds epitomizing the small business owner, The two that keep the action going, however, are Shea and Hale as they play their high-stakes money games loaded with sexual tension, Hale is particularly effective as he literally sings and dances some of Sterner’s satirical remarks and easily transitions from hard-line, take-no-prisoners businessman to a more childlike enjoyment of the game, In the final scene, where the stockholders (and the audience) vote for who will control the company, Hale manages to even show a bit of feeling for those he may be putting out of a job..

“We’ve been having great audiences that just seem to love the show,” said Robert Morehead, who directs the musical for Encinal High School. “It’s such a fun show, and it has a great message.

Young people can easily relate to “Hairspray” with its high school setting and teenage angst. It takes place in 1962 Baltimore, where plump teen Tracy Turnblad dreams of dancing on the local TV dance program. When she wins a spot on the program, she sets off a host of fireworks. Great song and dance numbers keep the show entertaining while well-done social commentary on racial prejudice and more gives the show substance.

“We’ve come a long way hanami ballet - white since 1962,” Morehouse said, “But it’s really interesting for the high school students to look back at how things were — things that their grandparents dealt with, It’s like a mini-history lesson.”, Morehouse also notes how well audiences react to the love song between Tracy’s mom Edna (always played by a man) and “her” husband, “Our two cast members do such a wonderful job with the relationship and the song that audiences just fall in love with them,” he said, “We even did the number for a student body assembly, and they really enjoyed it and reacted appropriately.”..
