    A rich play about faith and belonging.

  • Nick Malakhow: YOUTH

    A lovely piece full of rich roles for an ensemble cast of mostly young people. Each character is so deftly rendered and written with a sense of yearning and seeking. I loved the exploration of faith that honorED spirituality and religion while still questioning and interrogating their manifestation in structures and houses of worship. Wyatt was a compelling catalyst for change in the piece, but each character's journey feels cared for and whole. The play manages to be hilarious and poignant, as well as boldly theatrical, rhythmic, and surprising. I'd love to see this on its feet!
