The critics have been kind

The reviews are in and “One Down,” the new play by my son, Michael, is a hit.
“The play, written by Mike Poblete…is a moving, frequently funny look at loss, raging, drams and human connection.”
–Deborah Martin, Arts Writer, San Antonio Express-News
If you’re in San Antonio area , you can catch it at the Overtime Theatre through August 27.
If you’re in the NYC area, Michael has a new play going up on August 15 at the Louise Lortel Theatre, 121 Christopher St at 4 pm, called “Surfacing.” It’s free, but you need to register for a ticket.
Surfacing: Aug. 15 in Greenwich Village
