CINDY MARIE JENKINS says "liked it" · June 10, 2012
Seeing this play made me really happy I'm selective about which friends I stay in touch with from high school.... Fascinating story and excellent performances. You can tell this team delved into all the sides of these characters and not just the ones they understood. I knew a little more going into the show than others because of my interview with the director, but even so, the twists and turns and trap doors into which they fell kept me spellbound the whole time.... full review

This production lives at the intersection where a great script, strong direction and great acting meet. I'd never seen TAPE before, and the actors' nuanced, earnest and powerful performances had me sitting on the edge of my seat, waiting with baited breath to see what was going to happen next. Bravo. Worth seeing.... full review

What a smart play, superbly acted and directed! I highly recommend this show. It's taut. You think you know what's going on and then it shifts and you don't know what you should think. A gem.... full review

JAMES ADAMS says "loved it" · June 11, 2012
This production of "Tape" is as real, uncomfortable, and thought-provoking as Belber intended. Well-cast and well directed, it keeps you on the edge of your seat and captures a universe of emotions in the tiny Motel 6 set. Bravo to Weinzimmer, Karasev, Rizzo, and Tyson on an excellent production. ... full review

This was a powerful experience. The program discussed "sharing molecules" with the room, and that's exactly how it felt. I was fully invested in each of the characters from the start, and I was totally shaken at several points. I love the idea of taking full personal accountability for something and then being unsure if it's even yours to take. This theme was toyed with in a complex and deeply impactful way. See this play. I'm grateful I did last night.... full review

This was a phenomenal performance. A very intense play punctuated with just the right amount of comic relief. I was actually on the edge of my seat for the entire second half, anxiously awaiting the conclusion of the play. The interaction between the characters was so real, it was hard to believe they didn't actually go to high school together. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and would love to see it again if I had the chance. ... full review

The show was absolutely thrilling, and I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. The dynamic between the 3 actors is very real and honest. Throughout the show I became more and more invested in each character, and found myself relating to pieces of all of them. I left the performance questioning my understanding of "accountability" and rethinking my interactions/relationships with others. I've already purchased tickets to see it again! ... full review
