"A one-person show is always a slippery slope.The show has to have an interesting subject matter, some creativity, a good director and an even better actor. Well, Joni Ravenna's 'Beethoven and Misfortune Cookies' has all of the above and more."

"Exquisite.One of the best and most profoundly cultural shows offered to Los Angeles theater-goers this season."
Los Angeles Examiner

"Spellbinding..Had me on the edge of my seat.I loved the fine writing of this one-man show. Ravenna gives us a jigsaw puzzle and made all the pieces fit by the end. She lapses and collapses time and Harden made it all flow seamlessly...His performance is a wonder to watch."
Hollywood Examiner

"The play explores race, censorship, family, and the question everyone asks themselves at some point: Who am I?"

There is little more satisfying than a story in which a seemingly insignificant line or circumstance that develops the character turns out to be an integral piece of the plot. Like Beethoven's great structural masterpieces, Ravenna has written a play wherein motifs and refrains underscore the integrity of the work as a whole."
