Delightful! The performances from Indiana Wilson and Sam Sparro are fantastic. Funny, well drawn characters who are made funnier because they ring true. A surprising and lovely comedy.... full review

Grief Box

This show is an irreverent satire of capitalistic exploitation with so many wildly hilarious moments. It rings true as a comedy dealing with a dark subject in a dark, cynical time, and yet it's ultimate point of view is one of profound joy and discovery. The agony and the ecstasy of the grieving process are in great hands with Kathleen Leary, who puts her full self into a roller coaster performance that includes song, incredible wit, and revelatory dance.... full review

On the Line

thomas anawalt · June 23, 2026 certified reviewer
This play is a great one-act thriller. Even in very lively, upbeat moments it never allows itself to drift into a sense of safety and ease. The performances ride a razor's edge from start to finish, with remarkably sensitive direction for such a frightening play. I kept having to give my arm rest the occasional squeeze of reassurance because something just seemed not-quite-right and I could feel it in the pit of my stomach.... full review
