29th**"The Naked Guy" by Dennis T. Giacino and Fiely A. Matias At Henry Street Settlement Experimental Theatre Reviewed by Lisa Sandberg for for Theatre Reviews Limited  Written and directed by Dennis Giacino and Fiely Matias, "The Naked Guy" is about three gay roommates (played by Fiely Matias, Dennis Giacino, and Lance Fitzgerald) who write a prize-winning play about a beefy gay male escort. However, in order to collect the cash prize, they must produce him. Be aware - at the end of the show someone (Jaime Velez, who plays Josh, the male escort) gets naked here! Using a very simple set, "The Naked Guy" still manages to be extremely creative and unique. The production even manages to incorporate performance art. Everyone - from the actors to the audience - enjoy themselves hugely throughout the show. The performance breaks all the rules - nothing and no one is inviolate from being ridiculed. Be show to go with a good sense of humor and an open mind! Reviewed on Thursday, August 26, 1999 "THE NAKED GUY" Written and directed by Dennis T. Giacino and Fiely A. Matias.
