Clever. Hysterical. Amazing. Betsy Reisz & Ron Hanks are incredible in the timely comedy "Afterloves". Extremely witty and full of energy, "Afterloves" keeps you on your toes as it goes through the idea of classic historical figures dating in heaven. I loved every second of it and Betsy Reisz & Ron Hanks deserve so much credit for putting on an amazing show! ... full review

A winner! Haven't you always wondered who you would meet in heaven? This is a hilarious comedy about some romantic pairings that take place in the afterlife. The show was well written, clever, and well paced. My favorite couple was Marie Antoinette and Ernest Hemingway. Who knew? At the end of each scene I couldn't wait to find out who the next pairing would be. Actors and writers Betsy Reisz and Ron Hanks brought these historic characters to life with witty dialogue and adept comedy skills. Great show! ... full review

I went to see the closing night of Afterloves, and I have to say that I wish I came to see it more than once. A brilliantly funny show brought to life by two amazingly funny and talented actors, I spent the whole 90-minutes of the show laughing. Each couple pairing just kept getting funnier and I couldn't wait to see who the next pairing would be. After the last pairing performed, I almost wished there was another couple to watch just as long as it meant that the play would keep going. Both Ron Hanks and Betsy Reisz are extremely talented actors, bringing each character that they embodied to life the minute they stepped onto the stage. They worked extremely well together and it was amazing to see them own the stage both alone and toge... full review

It is an incredibly clever show and the talented actors' twists on the eclectic cast of characters kept the audience laughing the entire performance. It really could not be a more engaging production! Betsy Reisz and Ron Hanks, you are amazing! I'm concededly a little prejudiced but the standing ovation by the overflow crowd on the final night confirmed my assessment!... full review

Afterloves: Love Lives in the Afterlife was a big hit with me as well as my girl friends! I enjoyed the quick witty dialog of each character that the two actors portrayed. The clever pairing of characters was great, too. I hope industry critics take note of this very talented pair of actors especially Betsy! ... full review

I was already excited for this show the moment I read the premise. But to my delight, it was far more fantastic than I had anticipated. The writing was detailed and flowed wonderfully, seamlessly weaving actual quotes from many of the famed personas into the surprisingly believable dialogue, despite the absurdity of the situations. Not only were the characters and matches wittily crafted, but the actors portrayed their historical alter egos magnificently. Ron Hanks was particularly adept at creating a wild and entertaining version of an excitable Mark Twain, as well as a brusque, rugged and frustrated Ernest Hemingway. And I can't go without mentioning his fantastic vision of one of my favorite historical figures, Nikola Tesla, as an awk... full review

Afterloves is a hysterical, historical comedy that brilliantly marries love in the afterlife ranging from the touching Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning, to the sexy romp of Ernest Hemingway and Marie Antoinette, to the laugh-out-loud P.T. Barnum and the Virgin Mary - all amazingly portrayed by the outstanding Besty Reisz and the fantastic Ron Hanks! I loved it! ... full review
