    Deeply personal and moving, Megan and The Bear is an unapologetic look at mental health; this is a story that has a need to be told. Jovanovich uses playful imagery to help us feel safe before she punches us in the gut. This is what theatre is at its' finest.

    The first scene of D&T grabbed me by the neck and didn't let me go for the next hour and a half. A gritty look at a families' dysfunction and desperation, Pitts' adaptation of Les Fees is exciting, poignant, and bitingly funny. The characters of Fanny and the Mother will be coveted by actors for years to come.

    Ryan Han is here and he has something to say. This play is an honest a refreshing look at grief, race, ancestry, and masculinity through the eyes of the up-and-coming Han. A beautiful marriage of magical imagery and realism that is not to be missed.
