"Catch 22"

Catch 22

Joseph Heller

Los Altos Stage Company

Bryan Moriarty, Gary Landis, and
Joe Antonicelli

With brave intentions and a cast of enthusiastic actors giving it their best, Los Altos Stage Company takes on the troubled script of Catch 22, hoping to reverse it troubled history to stage a winner.  Unfortunately, Joseph Heller’s Catch 22 novel-turned-script does not lend itself any better in 2016 to the stage than it did in 1971, no matter how much cast and director do their darndest to make it so.
