Such a good show. We laughed a lot and hard. Great fun. The performers are so good and so good at letting the audience in on the fun they're having on stage. Just... It's worth your hour. FUN. And clever and thoughtful and exciting and smart and lovely.... full review

I went to see my talented friend Regan Linton. She was great along with the rest of the cast. We had a great time. Good acting and fun performances. The vignette that stole the show was "Restraint". Well worth your hour. Support live theatre! :)... full review

I thought Gimplecapped was witty, thoughtful and occasionally edgy. Not ROTF funny - more wry observational humor. The sketch format kept the show moving at a nice speed. The video opening and closing were clever. I also thought the cast was well-chosen and engaging. It would be intriguing to see this show refined and further developed, perhaps on a stage where the production standards could be tweaked up.

Funny! Great show! A series of quickly paced scenes that show the rest us what it is like to be "other-abled". I laughed out loud many times and learned what someone else's journey in life is like. I Highly Recommend!... full review

Gimplecapped was nothing short of endearing, hilarious, eye-opening, clever, genuine, and moving. So many talented, poignant artists make up this cast and the story they have to tell is something everyone need witness. This show deserves an extension and many more sold-out houses! Kudos to Regan Linton and the tenacious, riveting work that she, her cast, and crew bring to life. Highly highly recommended! ... full review

DREW BRAUER uncertified reviewer June 16, 2014
A fantastic show - it made me laugh along with making me a little uncomfortable with my perspective on being "gimplecapped". It forced me to start seeing the small injustices that I was otherwise oblivious to. ... full review
