What a beautiful, strange, timely, poetic piece! I love Kate Tarker's wit and really admire how she's crafted something here that has such a profound and resonant inner ache while painting with big, fun, primary colors. Tarker gifts her ensemble with generous stage directions that allow for robust play and true freedom of interpretation, and cares for her audience, too, by toggling between the alienating and the narratively familiar, thereby allowing us, through her words, to see this very strange world we're all inhabiting afresh...

How sad is it really that we seem to know so little about those we spend the most time with, our coworkers. An eye opening piece to forming deep connections with those we come across, not just looking for their positive happy traits. Well done.

Both slyly funny and quietly devastating, LAURA AND THE SEA balances its light and darkness to electrifying effect. The piece’s playing space is both mundane office and boat-scape, a place where “realities bend and overlap,” where emails are embodied by people and an in memoriam blog projects larger than life onto the boat’s sail. It's a wildly creative conceit that brings its performers' physicality to the forefront.
