When Phil Fiorini stops acting, the local theater community might just fold up and die. He turned in a year's worth of diverse and always-on-the-money work in the Unicorn's Dirty Blonde and Spinning Into Butter and at the Rep in The Winter's Tale. But he may have topped himself in the Coterie's adaptation of Wind in the Willows. Portraying the grandiloquent Mr. Toad, Fiorini got jiggy with the show's manic highs and brought out in the quieter moments the script's humanity -- odd for someone playing an amphibian.
