Exciting, dark, and funny. Lucy Gillespie's writing and Billy Ray Brewton's directing are a perfect match in this show, which is rounded out by a talented cast. Ben Hethcoat as Lee Atwater is one of the best performances I've seen in a long time.... full review

SO funny. I had no clue what to expect with this show and was delighted to be taken on such a zany, weird ride with so many characters and a lot of laughs. The writing is hilarious. Mitchell does great character work and has such comedic timing. I really enjoyed the entire show. It was Fringe done right!... full review

Such a creative, fun, and heartwarming show. At first I wasn't sure what to expect, but thanks to the committed actors and clear direction, I was transported to an incredibly believable fantasy world. Each character had a clear arc, and I found myself tearing up at the end of the show because I was so invested in their journey (no spoilers!) ... full review

Superb acting, writing, and direction that immediately transports you to two separate settings in the early 1980s. The script was clean, quick-paced, and the characters well developed. The direction was clear and cohesive- not a moment was missed. The actor's performances were deep, nuanced, and sometimes surprising. I LOVED this show. I wish it had been a two act- it really deserved additional time on that stage.... full review

Fascinating story. I really enjoyed Rob's laid back performance style as he took us on a journey from cult to freedom, and the difficulties and confusion he encountered along the way. Such a cool show- the time flew by! And excellent direction once again by Jessica Lynn Johnson.... full review

FANTASTIC. Sarah delivered a hilarious, honest, and truly heartfelt performance in SQUIRREL!!! She is beautifully vulnerable in sharing her struggle with ADHD and how it's affected her life. The story flowed effortlessly and with such humor. I laughed. I cried. What are you waiting for? SEE THIS.... full review

I love when writers take on a subset of pop culture and explore the deeper human need behind it. And what is particularly fun and different about this show is that Lucy Gillespie ties it in with Chekhov's three sisters. The writing is witty and well paced, the performances funny and grounded, and the direction was spot on. Go see it!... full review

There is a delicate balance to exploring themes of white privilege and racism without revealing any sort of agenda as a writer, and Jim Vejvoda's snappy and smart script easily maneuvers us through this journey. I found myself siding with both characters and wasn't entirely sure who was in the right at points. In fact, I was so engaged during the show that I couldn't believe when it was over- which is a testament to how committed the actors were onstage and the excellent pacing of the script.
