IN THE PRESS
“
The full effect [of Uncle Rooster], like a children's story gone horribly wrong, is a dystopic cartoon world where things don't quite fit together, where value and morality reveal intrinsic dissonances, and any possibility of a peaceful, just resolution disappears.
LIVING ARTS CHRONICLE
“
On press night, the crowd favorite seemed
to be Tami Canaday's 'Liver for Dinner,' a surreal play that demonstrates the impact of how something is said. It is intriguing.
“
'Santa' [Tells a Story] is an amusing glimpse
at an unsettling urban experience.
