Parade Productions' Brooklyn Boy Is Mildly Funny, Mildly Moving But Flawed Evening
Avi Hoffman's performance as a troubled writer, struggling to deal with success but escape his past, is one of the virtues in the promising but flawed inaugural offering from Parade Productions, a professional company performing in Mizner Park. There's a lot of talent here working very hard, but not a lot of electricity emanating from the elegiac, mildly funny, mildly moving tale.
