Fort Huachuca

This is a play that quietly sneaks up on you. The dialogue fresh and natural starts to feel as though you’re secretly binging on your favorite tv show too late at night with popcorn. The cast of actors throw themselves into this beautiful play and your heart feels it for a long time after.

"COWBOY MOUTH" by Sam Shepard & Patti Smith

constance jaquay strickland · June 20, 2016 certified reviewer
It is a play that demands discussion after and that is exactly what we did after the show.

Susan is enticing with a deep sense of self and power. There is a prowess about her onstage that is piercing and haunting yet moving as she reveals pieces of her life that make a full circle connection to what it means to exist.

FUGITIVE SONGS

constance jaquay strickland · June 14, 2015 uncertified reviewer
Fugitive Songs! We came in with open hearts and found ourselves moved by the music, the journey and the ache that comes with being human. The actors give heartfelt performances and there is something to be said about the power of stillness. Go support musical theatre and have a drink at the same time. ... full review
