Fascinating story of Andrea's search for her family history in Berlin and how trauma can be passed down even without specific incident. I particularly love the way she uses two actors to tell this many-character'd story - it is so open to interpretation and so produce-able!

Isn't it always our mother who gets in our way just when we're doing the thing we've always dreamed? Davis gives us high stakes and a mother-daughter relationship - a very dramatic duo!

This is a beautiful play that is unexpected in so many wonderful ways! Davis is a poet for the stage with a visual sensibility that is evocative and moving.

Wonderfully intense drama that I found gripping! Once Joan is triggered, the inevitably tragic end, hinted at in the beginning, becomes a reality. The Western elements Burdick sews through the play provide us with a final ride into the sunset like never before.

Very fun one-act that is weird and fascinating in its weirdness. I really enjoyed the community Lawing creates with this cast of 5 who are mostly loners brought together by their loneliness to participate in a very strange ritual. When their sacred object goes missing, the entire communal vibe starts to unravel until we discover the truth. Yet the piece goes beyond that to reveal much more than I expected. Well Done!

Poignant and very well written - I have a 15 year old son right now, and Ramirez Puckett does a great job with that young male voice! And his confusions and identity issues and fears - the ICE official scene is chilling! There are some great American details, and the language - quite a treat!

Higbee's Icarus entitled, Oh, No! I Flew Too Close To The Sun! is a Brilliant play that makes me wonder about Society and the Responsibilities we have to each other, and how often we fail. And if we couldn't laugh, then Life would really suck. The jokey stuff - in abundance here - works!

Such a recognizably plastic world, Barrett lets the wackiness drive us thru the dark bleak lonely suicidal possibilities here, so that we can manage the darkness in the blinding fluorescence of Fast Food! Kudos!

Saw this at The Tank and really enjoyed the madness of it, the language, the strangeness, the music, the lighting, the electronic world of the play, the set and how they used it destroying so much of it, and I particularly loved the American Apparel display case and how they inhabited it and the photography because so much of this is about women as objects on display and how we objectify ourselves - truth, and the reality that we might not want that much of it, literally.

Wonderfully funny and human play about a very specific kind of Jew living in a very specific kind of community that we don't often see onstage, and I really appreciated how deeply Joelle dives into questions of faith and authenticity in this comedy that never feels slick or reductive - instead I cared very deeply for all of the characters and what they are each trying to do. Mazel Tov - it's a play to kvell about!
