Once a week in New York five women gather to knit, as the sweaters pile up, their lives fall apart… Do we
really need the opposite sex to make our lives work? This is just one of the questions the five women in Theresa
Rebeck's "Loose Knit" consider as they get together weekly to knit and decompress from their hectic New
York lives. The group
begins to unravel. Can the women pick up all the dropped stitches and knit their friendships back together again?

Some Reviews from Previous Seasons
Christmas at the Small Empire Music Hall - 2008 - 09 Season
"As a director, Rickman shows he's researched what these shows looked like
way back when. But he and Tiedemann display something far more
important:
They aren't mocking, or even spoofing this entertainment of
yore. They're just putting it out there
one mo' time for us so we can
discover what our great-great grandfathers enjoyed, and find that
we can
get a kick out of it, too.
"
Peter
Filichia, The Star Ledger
Daphne Does Dim Sum - 2007 - 08 Season
"Like our favorite Chinese food, the play is warm and comforting, but not without
an occasional spicy bite to lend it character...Chan's play provides a soothing
sustenance."
Recorder Newspapers
Quartermaine's Terms - 2006-07 Season
"There isn't a weak link in the cast... Director Carl Wallnau goes to the head
of the class with this one."
Peter
Filichia, Star-Ledger Staff
Rounding Third - 2004 - 05 Season
"Rounding Third emerges as more compelling than the average escapist comedy. As Don
observes in one of his rare insights, "The only happy people in the world are the winners."
If that's true, Wallnau, Focht, and Arca must be pretty happy people."
Peter
Filichia, Star-Ledger Staff
Engaged - 2003-04 Season
"Wallnau makes [Engaged] sing!" raved Star Ledger critic reviewer, Peter Filichia. "Julie Fitzpatrick...
is wonderfully matter-of-fact when she announces that a woman must agree with everything the man says before they
are married and a man must agree with everything the woman says after they wed," Filichia noted, also recognizing
Amanda Baker in her "hilariously breathless" portrayal of Belinda Treherne.
