I don't have enough good things to say about this show. It was so moving in all the best ways! I found myself captivated by the characters and concept, and just a puddle of a weeping mess but the end. Thank you for going there, Queer Classics!... full review

The Poe Show

The Poe Show was HYSTERICAL! What a funny concept! Brendan Hunt was a master at dry wit, and he has us all in the palm of his hand the entire show!! Cj Merriman and Gillian Bellinger were also stand-outs! GO SEE THIS!... full review

Watching this show, I had one of those experiences where I was laughing along my merry way and didn't realize I was crying until I had to wipe a couple of tears away! Such a beautiful show. I can't wait to see what you are up to next!!... full review

Star-Cross'd

mary ellen moreno · June 23, 2014 certified reviewer
What a great concept for a show, and it was beautifully executed! The songs chosen were so well-matched to the moments, and the choreography and movement brought me to tears more than once. (I especially loved the scene when Romeo and Juliet have their first night together and the houses are literally fighting over them. I thought that sequence was just so complex and beautiful!) Kudos to the cast for becoming such a cohesive and dynamic story-telling group. I highly recommend this production!!... full review

Twylight Zone: Back to the 6th Dimension (a parody)

mary ellen moreno · June 23, 2014 certified reviewer
You guys. As a lover of a good parody, this show FAR EXCEEDED my expectations! The writing was so incredibly clever! The direction was wonderful and crisp, and the actors were truly invested in every well-thought-out moment and high-brow joke. I want to see more shows like this! And once you see it, you will, too! Go see this show!... full review
