SHIPWRECKED! AN ENTERTAINMENT
” What a playground. There’s beautiful and mesmerizing shadow play that could be a show in itself, rocking and rolling ship shenanigans, and, in the end, a kind of turtle horsey-ride that will prove (or disprove, depending on your perspective) all of Rougemont’s tales. The audience hangs on every fantastic detail of this character’s life, from sickly child, to renowned hero, to abject outcast…This play will surely go down as a favorite whether you are new to Triad Stage or a long-time fan.”
—Classical Voice of North Carolina
WAKE UP!
“WAKE UP! is a romp through silliness…I can’t stop laughing. And this is exactly the point…as usual, Telluride Theatre brings a capable cast together for the show…they become terrific conduits for material that is utterly silly—where situations are ridiculous, characters are bumbling and shenanigans are manifold. Which usually makes the audience feel good.”
ROLLER DISCO THE MUSICAL!
“Gloriously silly, and gloriously funny…You don’t even have to have seen ‘Roller Boogie’ to love it….Director and choreographer Jen Wineman clearly adores all this nonsense, since she’s replicated it in loving detail…”
“Dreamy in its cheesiness…let’s hope ROLLER DISCO makes it to (off) Broadway so the rest of the world can enjoy the short shorts and sparkles too.”
“Brilliant…witty…lighthearted…absurd…and different. A sarcastically campy musical that delights! The perfect treat!”
“Awesomeness on wheels…Director Jen Wineman mixes the perfect comic timing of her veteran actors with the enthusiasm of her newbies … the fun builds momentum like a pair of kids skating down a steep hill in a chase scene… ROLLER DISCO is so effortlessly good that it makes you wonder why mediocre comedies exist.”
ROLLER DISCO THE MUSICAL! FEATURE STORIES
MY SWEET CHARLIE
“…Spectacularly dazzling. Director Jen Wineman has done a bang-up job in taking a decades-old script and infusing it with life, and more than one breath of fresh air. Technically, it could not be more perfect…”
GIANTS
“Von Holt’s writing is disciplined and measured. Her total commitment to her idiosyncratic fantasy is matched by Jen Wineman’s understated direction.”
TROUT STANLEY
Trout Stanley is … “hysterically funny”… “a deliciously lyrical piece”… “Directed with zest by Jen Wineman, it could give wacky talkiness a good name.”
“Director Jen Wineman keeps the small stage from being static during the longest speeches, and seems to keep all audience views of the in-the-round stage interesting. She also keeps the tone of the show unified, with sudden dramatic moments, aligning with comedic ones”… “There is much to love here.”
“Director Jen Wineman embraces the oddity of the script without sacrificing sincerity”…this “remarkable play dances between high camp and bold sincerity, laughing all the way.”
KLYTAEMNESTRA'S UNMENTIONABLES
“Twenty-five centuries after the playwright Euripides sent her packing in a dragon-drawn chariot, the infamous child-slayer (Medea) is wreaking domestic havoc on stages across America”… “Bradford Louryk’s Klytaemnestra’s Unmentionables, which camped it up at New York’s Here Multi-Arts Center last December, included an impersonation of Medea, as well as an overwrought Fury and other X-chromosome Greeks…Plays like Klytaemnestra’s Unmentionables situate their protagonist’s hopes and frustrations in the context of a postfeminist era.”
