This show is incredible. From start to finish, Katelyn absolutely captivates and transports audiences into a story world that feels dizzyingly strange yet eerily recognizable, like remembering the moment right before you were born, viscerally, emotionally, even physically. Feels like an ancient yet future tale, and I knew in my heart and bones that it was important, even as Katelyn spooled and spooned the story little by little, the puzzle pieces slipping into formation all at once in breathtaking moments. My heart felt restarted by this show, resuscitated and beating fast. Plus the bear puppet rules! ... full review

Very powerful performance here with the most adorable ferocious bear puppet I've ever seen. Katelyn Schiller shines as the sincere and open-hearted Blue and the realistic and complex characters they encounter on the other side of hibernation. The Little Prince-esque. Reality is both sweet and turbulent.... full review

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. If you'd like to witness a master in storytelling, come see Katelyn in Murder Blood Bear Story Part 2. Weaving in and out characters seamlessly through voice and movement and so imaginatively painting such a clear picture of the worlds she was living in through her writing, puppet work, and acting, left be breathless. Katelyn so beautifully challenges the ideas of happiness allowing us to question at what lengths and sacrifice we may permit for this one emotion. It reminds us that it's okay to celebrate the complexities of our human experience. Beautiful and powerful work.... full review
