Last nite I saw a great new play at Theater Theater on Pico, John Pollono's very original "Small Engine Repair'.  Talented Pollono also stars in the one act production with equally talented Jon Bernthal, Michael Redfield and Josh Helman and are well directed by Andrew Block.  The acting is uniformly excellent in the often hilarious and gritty show with interesting twists and turns when  mismatched blue collar friends are drawn together into an unexpected plot.  HH(:
