REVIEWS
1997 - 1999 TOUR





"The show was pageantry, grace, wonderful choral speaking and singing, spectacular comic images and heart. I leapt to my feet at the end. You want to give something back to this company of players. And you want their show to be seen by multitudes of people. This is special." 


- Layne Coleman, Artistic Director, Theatre Passe Murraile, Toronto: 1997

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Your message is compelling and we commend you for the commitment and energy you are expending on behalf of a better world.
The performance was purely magical." 

- Carolyn and Leon Domino, Rock Hall MD: 1998

 

 

 
 
 

"Director Paul Kirby takes this material to create an on board cosmos, combining the spirit world of masked mimes and libidinous hags with the
rude real world of working men and women. The surreal in Kirby's production trips the mind to a receptivity surpassing consciousness. The audience inhales rather than analyses, as we perceive
a higher human sense of self."

- Kingston NY, Daily Freeman:  September 1999

 

 

 

 

"The performance of Trapped was imaginative, spirited and inspiring. My whole family, including my nine-year old daughter, watched, entranced as the play progressed to its stirring conclusion."
- Jeff Holland, Annapolis MD: 1998

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

 
"The Production of Trapped was beautiful, moving and disturbing. The design was constantly surprising. The script, a story of the environment and the relationship between the people and nature, allowed for complexity, conflict, and contradiction. Itís a story well told and worth telling. It was one of the best evenings of theatre Iíve attended in a long time."

-Arthur Milner, Playwright/Theatre Professor
Concordia University, Montreal: 1998

 

 

 

 

 
"Saw your show
in Wilmington, DE.

WOW It was great!"
- Hans Jensen, Poughkeepsie NY: 1999

 

 

 

 

 

"I just saw your show last night at the Mystic Seaport and wanted to tell you how much I LOVED it! You exceeded my expectations. I loved the use of all different forms of performance art, the music, the dance, the story, the set, the costumes, the acting, the comedy, the masks, (I could go on and on). The way it was all put together was very smooth and a delight to watch. 

No, not to watch but to be involved in."
- Sylvia Chow, Mystic CT: 1998

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"In New York City, where the challenge to offer something truly original is never easy, you and your dedicated troupe of actors managed to alter a Chelsea Pier into a magical universe filled with drama, music and spectacle."

- Lillie Zendel, Cultural Officer, Canadian Consulate, NYC: 1998

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Thank You so much for the enchanting performance here in Stratford last weekend!  I am still raving about the experience to practically everyone I meet. Undoubtedly, this ranks among the most memorable in my 51 years on this planet."

-Jeremy Wright, Stratford CT: 1998
