A Haunting Revue II

I very much enjoyed this theatrical performance. It is a wonderful take on Twilight Zone. It was very well acted. The script is also genius. This is a very original and thought provoking play.... full review

Cozy feel-good vibes, down home quaint stories that dip down into more complex, imaginative and emotional dynamics. Enjoyed every single one and even shed a tear or two of empathy with the fabulous acting skills put into play that night. ... full review

Even though some of the scenes feel underdeveloped, the variety of the vignettes, the lighting choices and the structure of the evening offered moments of interest. With more refinement, this could become a more cohesive and engaging production.... full review

It was a moving experience. We had a lot of fun, and the actors gave their best performances the day I attended. I especially enjoyed Aditya’s performance in the second play.... full review

Each short play felt pleasantly unique but also thematically tied to the others, plus, the entire show had nostalgic uncanniness reminiscent of the Twilight Zone and Twin Peaks. This effect was immediately evoked thanks to the performance starting with a mysterious and campy TV show-style opening video, and it was deepened throughout thanks to an enticing voice of the host who guided us between stories in the style of Rod Serling.... full review

I love when a story takes a familiar set up (no spoilers) and completely reinvents it. The show starts with a story about siblings going through their mother's things, then moves to a damaged friendship, then finishes with a story about family and friendship expectations and the existential crisis of not meeting those expectations. These are familiar themes, but they were explored in such unique ways with completely original and three dimensional characters. The casting was superb: the actors worked so well together and fit each role perfectly. They were dealing with really complicated and heavy themes, and each actor carried these and expressed them with ease. ... full review

An excellent set of stories that fit well within the legacy of Night Gallery and Twilight Zone.... full review

A unique and charming collection of short plays!... full review

I enjoyed this collection of three very different stories. I actually saw Birds of a Feather for the second time and appreciated it even more, since knowing some of the ambiguity going in let me pick up on deeper clues and themes about family relationships. The Lateness of the Hours was a relatable and thoughtful look at how friendship dynamics evolve over time, while The Fight or Flight Response felt like a sharp commentary on workplace relationships and corporate culture. Another strong production from JP Theater Productions.... full review

Haunting and psychologically disturbing. Fascinating look at human behavior and motivation and how people in close dynamics can be complete strangers. Makes you think long after the show ends. Congrats to Aditya and the whole team!... full review
