Not going until the closing night was a big mistake. The singers were full of voice and the choreography was stunning for such a small venue. Costuming was beautiful and the changes were seamless, especially in the second half. We both were disappointed that we had not gone ealier so we could go again. Being in our 60's the songs were quite familiar to us and fun to relive. The No Exit Cafe is an interesting place with the actors waiting tables, the mix between the regular staff and the actors had us wondering just who was who...first time confusion on our part.

This is fun entertainment, suitable for the entire family. It retells the Dickens story in Panto and is lots of fun if you participate. The costumes are amazing, such creativity that it blew me away. It is worth seeing for the costumes alone, but the show is fun as well.

Duck for President had catchy tunes and an adorable plot line. It not only was child appropriate and kept the younger ones engaged, but it had underlying adult humor as well. It was very educational in a simplistic way to convince children how important voting is. Very well done!

This was a very intense but worthwhile production. I have done a bit of reading on the topic and also was a high school teacher when the actual event occurred, so it was of great personal interest. The "blackboard" was a great aspect of the production, and the sound and lighting were both excellent. I came away feeling enlightened.

Powerful, painful, poignant, preventable. Sound and light designs added a great deal to this great ensemble of young actors. I hesitated seeing this play because I knew it would be upsetting but that's what needs to happen...we need to get VERY upset and then take action. It's now become such an old story....rebellion, anger, drugs, alcohol, mental illness, guns, violence...and ignorance.

essentially, once the play is over, you ask "so what?"... okay, one doesn't need a dozen permutations [of the same situation] to understand that yes, we all play this game of "splitting up" our personalities. script is rather banal, if not prosaic.

While I don't generally love adaptations of works from other media, The City & The City is a favorite novel, brilliantly and imaginatively conceived as a work of speculative fiction. While I didn't think that the production captured all of the nuance of the book, it was quite well-acted, especially Inspector Borlu. I wish the curtain call was such that I could have given him a standing ovation. Still, I think that the production might have been confusing to someone who had not read the novel and was less glorious than reading the novel. It is rare that an adaptation can match the original. This one did not, but kudos to the actors who made this an enjoyable evening.

I saw Aspects of Love when it came the the "big stage" at the Civic Opera House in the 80's. This actors at the Theo Ubique were every bit as talented. The standing ovation they received was well deserved.
While the book is not as well known as Phantom, the music is beautiful and it is beautifully performed by Kelli Harrington, Sean Thomas, Colette Todd and Matthew Keffer. It has to be a challenge to act when you are arm's length from the audience but cast is incredible.

Columbinus was absolutely fabulous. The subject matter was covered in a creative way that invented and re-invented they style in which it was done. The production values were excellent--minimal set was ideal; the sound was well suited to the piece; the lighting was spot on; and the acting and directing was amazing. Well done!!!

Never read this play but just became totally immersed as it played out. Leave it to Shakespeare and his tricks, things not always what they seem or appear to be. Great actors, able to keep the shakespearan accent even with thier NY or irish or pimp accent. Enjoyable, unexpected ending, but that made it even better.

I went to see this show with my husband, my 81 year old mom and a good friend. We all loved this show. Dennis Watkins is terrific. We've also seen him at the Magic Parlor. Great cast, beautiful aerialist, heart warming story. Sad to say we saw this on closing night, so we can't send our friends and family. Hopefully the House Theater will reprise this show or another company will produce it.

Although Lifeline's current production is well acted, one can tell that it has been adapted from a novel. Too much of the play requires characters, especially the lead detective, to stop and explain to the audience or other characters what certain terms, events, or actions mean that would flow more fluently in a hundred page book. By the last half hour, the action is excellerated to explain the murder mystery of who shot whom for what reason and knew what when, which shows how the pacing of the adaptation is a bit off.

Fish Eyes was a great show. It was enjoyed by our entire group - included humor and also some very moving scenes. At the conclusion of the play, the actors came out for a short question-and-answer session. Loved it.
