I most enjoyable show. Richard Tanner is so brilliant in his sharing of his life as an actor and we are caught up in the story of his struggle to succeed. The play has humor, drama and wonderful sound and power point. All Fine Arts people will relate to what Richard has experienced and his wit and insight makes it all so real. I am so glad I went. ... full review

If you are part of the general theatre going public, Richard Tanner's show Small Parts, is an entertaining, touching and funny tale of his life. But, if you are a working or aspiring actor, the show will be even more poignant. It is a heart wrenching story of what it is like to struggle to continue to find work in the business. His observations are keen and revealing. Richard relates his trials and tribulations with a combination of humor and pathos. It is the best of all the fringe shows I have seen so far... full review

For me, this show was a must see and I was not disappointed. At all. Ever. Small Parts is an hilarious and harrowing love letter to the entertainment industry and, as with all great love stories, it has it's fair share of tragedies, break ups, highs, lows and reconciliations. Richard Tanner gives us everything he has in this absolutely amazing show and he gives it all with charm, grace and brilliant comic timing. Doesn't matter what industry you work in, you'll recognize aspects of yourself in Tanners' portrayal of his own passions and obsessions. Five stars. ... full review
