This was an amazing play! It draws you in with humor and wit and soon the twists and turns have you on the edge of your seat! This is a Hitchcockian thriller that will keep you captivated the entire time! The actors, the writing, the dialogue, the direction were all phenominal! I hope this play comes abck to LA I will see it again and bring as many friends as possible!... full review

Yo Yo, I'm a student of Johnny Dap's too so I wanted to check out this play. So glad I did. Really well-written stuff, had me cracking up the whole time. And such good casting, obviously, probably playing into their niches ;)... full review

“The Box” was a fun, but dark complex comedy that had a Hitchcock feel to it. It was extremely well written and directed. The actors were all very believable. Alice was able to hit every emotion possible known to man and transitioned realistically and seamlessly. Stephen did an excellent job showing his exasperation in the situation and his sincere love for Alice. Cal was intimidating but balanced that well with a soft side expressing concern for his daughter in his own way.... full review

Wow! What an engaging script and storyline brilliantly expressed with an excellent cast! The story teaches a real lesson in relational conflict, expression and resolution...no holding back ones true feelings or tip toeing around them. Observing the struggle between these three characters was educational and riveting, not to mention highly entertaining and humorous although dark at the same time. I am not usually a good spectator but I was fully pulled in and loved it! Bravo to the director, Patrick Hamilton, and excellent actors perfectly cast... Chelsea Smith, Conor McGee and Darrell Shipley. I will look for their names in other works.... full review

Good show good cast, good writing! Shout out to Chelsea Smith who sparkled in THE BOX, both comedically, with creativity and energy; and dramatically, with a deeply personal performance at different points in the story.... full review
