Review of Cheesing!

"What did that mean?" Marjorie Van Halteren's essay/performance piece lives comfortably on the continuum between Laurie Anderson and Ken Nordine. Polished rather than slick, smart rather than clever, self deprecating, observational and well produced this piece passes my ultimate test: Do you want it on a long night drive through a desert? Programable anywhere and a welcome addition to any discussion of language and cultural perspectives.
