I know the writer and I know he's very talented, but The Sphere of Fixed Stars in the Heavens took me to another level that I knew was possible but still didn't expect. It's an incredibly touching story about love and loss, expectations and boundaries, told through a unique and unexpected lens that I can't share without spoiling. ... full review

Love this play! Stories about timeless love affairs are plentiful, but SPHERE approaches this in a unique way I've never seen before. It's filled with nerd references, making it feel current and engaged with the zeitgeist of modern popular culture, without being so dedicated to that POV that it becomes inaccessible for mainstream audiences. Tiffany Smith does a great job riding the emotional roller coast that is her character's journey, while Von makes deft character choices, but I'd rather not say more as it's a spoiler for the show.... full review

An absolutely lovely, charming, and magical play that surprises you at every turn while simultaneously making you feel like you've known and loved these characters for years. At times laugh-out-loud funny and at times heartbreaking, ultimately "The Sphere of Fixed Stars in the Heavens" is the kind of sweeping romantic oddball epic that somehow manages to still feel intimate and deeply personal. Acted beautifully and directed with thoughtful, delicate touches that let the text and emotional heart of the piece take center stage. Loved it!... full review

A very creative narrative. The performances are phenomenal. Watching the chemistry build between these two characters over “X” amount of years is a joy. ... full review
