Quantum Entanglement

marcus j freed · June 09, 2017 certified reviewer
A sweet & charming theatrical exploration of love on the Quantum Level! Katelyn Schiller has created a beautiful & thoughtful romance that takes us into the realms of science, the universe and the human heart. The first movement of the play has an almost balletic quality about it as Payden Ackerman plays an astrophysicist exploring the nature of how our cells intertwine.

Stephen Weston's thoughtful direction leads us the question the Hamlet within all of us - how we hold all... full review

Nikki's exquisite writing has hints of Pirandello, echoes of Beckett, and uses her wide-ranging literary and philosophical knowledge to present a script that is tight, engaging and thought-provoking. The company's ingenious use of the space lifts the production further, with... full review

Really fun book & score by Laura Wiley, and a smashing opening number with comically-choreographed fight sequences.
