Picasso's Women: The Darker Side of Genius

constance jaquay strickland · June 22, 2014 uncertified reviewer
This was a surprise piece for me. I found it to be a beautiful examination on the women who loved Picasso. It had beautiful moments of lyrical movement and complete commitment from the actors onstage. It also gives one a history lesson and another perspective on one of the most talented artist that has ever lived. The actress who played Olga is fire. Go see this work!... full review

Beau & Aero

What can I say! It was a terrific show. I laughed and wanted to play. I am a most serious being and this show took me outside myself and brought me back to the basics of theatre. It was two people onstage giving everything they had while executing grandeur skills. Amica is beyond flexible and what her and David create together onstage is quite beautiful. The moment the balloon popped and Amica begins to cry well I must say that was one of the highlights of the piece for me--there was something so... full review

There is much to be said about unspoken pains. They can live within us for so long that they become a part of our daily being. Rebecca Ryland and her beautiful cast share this work with no holding back and what happens is an awakening. We find through laughter we are able to release the pain and oh freeing that is! Cheers to the actresses for sharing a piece of themselves with us.... full review

Women on the Verge

Faith began as a small child and the women she goes onto share with us give us many revelations of what it means to be a woman that comes from many women who all have difficulties living. Her unflinching commitment to these women leaves one no choice but to go on this hilarious, painful, honest & unknown ride. Sometimes the pain is easier than the anger or forgiving. F... full review

Jennifer was raw, bold, brave and then all of a sudden vulnerable. It was a joy to go through her story with her. Thank you for sharing!... full review

This show brought honest work. It was a pleasure to see the actors just bare themselves onstage. Marc Scheibmeir gave a physical performance that was a delight to see. A gal also gave a quite hilarious monologue that had me laughing so hard. Cheers to the work!... full review
