The standout is longtime AC member Lhorvie Nuevo. Hewing to the prologue’s promise to disregard age and gender, Nuevo plays fallen Abu Sayyaf head Khadaffy Janjalani with an acute understanding of the combined power of kindness and silence. Marlon Brando in “Apocalypse Now” and Joe Pesci in “The Irishman” both knew this: Sometimes, the softest voice in the room is the most frightening of all. Amid the theatrical carnage, you can’t help looking at, and for, Nuevo.

...given the chosen farcical style of the show, it must be said that particularly scene-stealing was Lhorvie Nuevo (as Orgon’s wife Elmira) who repeatedly brought the house down. She truly encapsulated “Tartuffe” as rollickingly enjoyable farce.

At the end, I thought Nuevo’s Elizabeth, w less ostensible “fireworks” than the others, the most indelible figure on stage:

Lhorvie Nuevo’s innocent portrayal of Eurydice was such a joy to behold. Her tendency to act with her feet was what initially caught my eye. Her emotions seemed to be so overwhelming that her limbs could not contain them. I am sure Ruhl would be pleased to know that her tragic heroine was given life with such sincerity.
