Reviews

"Where did Hazen find these actors?" by Christian Finch: I loved it. I have a severe case of ADD and I never looked at my watch once! Vastly entertaining. Congrats to cast and crew.

Knife! Knife! Knife!" by Aaron Christopher: Well slap my face and call me penguin butter sauce. This was such a tremendous paper clip factory of cactus fire that I nearly rode the spatula all the way to Prague. All absurdity aside I really loved this show. The acting was superb show progressed at marvelous pace...

"Thanks for doing Ionesco!" by Fluffy Singler: I ADORE Ionesco and can't get enough, so props to this group for doing this show. It's really a great play... The actors were really good and did a fantastic job. The audience seemed quite appreciative and the piece really moved along. Any Ionesco is welcomed and this was pretty good Ionesco. Thanks for the Lesson. My favorite quote of the play: "It is not enough to be able to integrate. You must also be able to disintegrate."


"dark & absurd" by Scott Pakudaitis: As the story went on, the actors built tension which finally erupted in a fatal scene. The staging is well-done and the performance was engaging.

"A nice tense theater experience" by Nate Hessburg: I was a fan of this play before I went to see it and it didn't disapoint. It is a VERY weird show with great performances. You should really try to see it.
