TRU$T

This is a well-acted play but it’s racially tone deaf in its execution, unfortunately. ... full review

A compelling illustration of how we are all the same trying to survive the necessary evils of money. But…success in the game can spawn even more evil - deliciously played by Chris Durmick. An afternoon we’ll spent! ... full review

"Trust" is a perfect example of a show with depth. From the very first lines of dialogue, the characters stepped onto the stage fully realized, with no need for lengthy introductions. Their backstories were woven into their presence, making it easy to connect with them right away.

Thought provoking, grounded, candid and wickedly intense, Tru$t is a well crafted blend of the perfect cast and impeccable direction woven together with a tight, perspective driven dialog that makes you think about the subject matter long after lights out.

The show was very good. I was very impressed with all the actors and the story of the play. I was very impressed with my son(Jude) performance, he has been working so hard.

This play was offensively bad. This play started down a path and made every wrong move. For a play about Occupy Wall Street, this provides the perfect answer to whoever asks, “what happened to the occupy movement?” The answer is these white liberals are racist af…and the worst part is the Los Angeles audience of old white folks in West Hollywood ate it up. This play was incredibly racist from the one Brown Latina being a maid who has about two lines as they get the groceries to the Black kid from South Central (Compton specifically) who sells drugs, totes a gun, and s... full review
