PAST CRITICAL PRAISE FOR COVELL:
“Its carefully orchestrated illogic is one of the show’s genuine pleasures. Lesser’s playful, semi-nonsensical lyricism and emotionally wounded comic caricatures evoke the double-edged paradoxes and existential absurdities most associated with Lewis Carroll,”-LA Weekly

THRILLIST RECOMMENDED BEST THINGS TO DO MARCH 2017

“I found myself wanting to stay inside the world that she had created. That’s a feeling that I’m always looking for in an immersive, and the longing to be back there in that room with those characters held on strongly for hours afterward…Fans of Lesser’s previous work should know that she’s firing on all cylinders here,”-No Proscenium

""This is a blast!"-MY HAUNT LIFE

“C(ovell) isn’t just a game, it isn’t just a side show, it isn’t just an open bar; no, it’s a carefully curated immersive experience with a narrative, a theme, and a heart. It’s a magical evening spent drinking with friends, sharing secrets, and learning of another world. It’s a piece of art. Do yourself a favor and see this show. It is fun, it is entertaining, and it is emotional.”-HAUNTING.NET
