[Naked by the River] is that rare thing – a bona fide romantic comedy. Think Tracy and Hepburn. The audience is in expert hands.

. . . engaging dialogue . . . delightfully wacky . . .
The Newark Star Ledger

[Naked by the River] is a tightly written, intelligent, witty play about two complex young people whose contradictory talents and values bring them together, then pull them apart, and then just maybe reconnect them after all.

I came across a little gem at Florida Studio Theatre. Mike Folie’s Naked by the River is a near perfect offering. Folie is adept with cleverly funny yet subtle lines, and has taken something as hackneyed as “the meaning of life” and given it fresh humor and insight.

The dialogue sizzles and crackles like a frying pan full of firecrackers; the sexual tension also sizzles.
Sarasota Longboat Observer

Watching this play, one realizes how much fun it is to watch a straightforward love story onstage. And it’s as delightful as it is unusual.
Dallas Morning News

A trenchant and edgy romantic comedy with exquisitely crafted banter.  Folie pitches a changeup in the second act.  But as soon as you figure out where he’s headed, he switches direction again. The final scene is a delightful assault on audience smugness.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram

A wonderful play with heart and humor through and through.

Beautifully crafted dialogue by Mike Folie . . . really top-notch stuff.  It was fun from beginning to end. Really something special.  Don't miss this one.
