Two tight, provocative, and engaging pieces that deal, in their own ways, with the way guilt can consume our lives. Playwrights Benjamin Schwartz and Ryan Lisman have produced a simple, effective hour of theatre that showcases some stellar performances....

Guilt was a interesting look at self reflection, and the misconceptions of humanity as a whole. Both short plays told good stories about unique yet ordinary people who had been put into unfortunate circumstances. Very enjoyable....

I was most impressed with both Ryan Lisman and Benjamin Schwartz as young play-wrights who wrote two short plays focusing on psychological and moral growth.

Two very different pieces that none-the-less fit together for a compelling evening of theatre. Evocative percussion, effective use of the space, and solid technical elements. The subject matter is heavy so best know what you are in for. ...

Really enjoyed the first show, I thought it was very creepy (in a good way) and played with audience emotions without getting either stale or too crazy. Definitely recommend. The second play dragged on a bit, but the ending was heart wrenching; also, great performance by the lead actor (the dad)....

Two very dramatic pieces that are loosely bound by the guilt theme, but each stand on their own. ...

“Guilt” was an incredibly well acted and enthralling show to see. It’s two short plays and they go by in a breezy tense full hour. I highly recommend going to see this... especially if you like sexy church stuff and armadillo hunting. ...
