  • James Perry: Fireworks

    The dynamics between Cheryl, Melissa, and Robert are well-portrayed. Their tension and strained relationships are palpable, bringing the underlying conflicts and complexities to the foreground. The fairground setting during a fireworks display creates a vivid and visually appealing backdrop, and the descriptions of the fireworks contribute to the sensory atmosphere. A worthwhile challenge for the sound and lighting designers.

  • James Perry: Gloria and Her Dragons

    I loved this play. Elizabeth Dudak takes an introspective look at themes of loss, grief, aging, and the impact of dementia on familial relationships. The nuanced exploration of these themes adds layers to the narrative and sets you up for the heart-breaking and emotional twist ending.

    "Frankentherapy" is a delightful and entertaining play that successfully blends humor with thoughtful exploration of psychological themes. Dan Taube offers a fresh perspective on a well-known character while exploring themes of identity and trauma in a humorous manner. I really didn’t want to like this play as much as I did.
