Praise for Minna


"The ensemble's passionate but precise performances are supported by imaginative set, costume, and sound design that immerse actors and audience alike in a vivid dream world."

-Chicago Reader

"The actors all give admirable, incredibly energetic individual performances-"

-Newcity Stage

"Yet all actors manage to channel this insanity into something real, something worth watching. No. More than worth watching—something great. This was art."

-Chicago Theater Blog

"The entire cast creates a compelling spectacle of dramatic lunacy."

-Chicago Stage Review

"...the prodigious spectacle [is] supplied by the ensemble of physical and verbally agile players.”

-Windy City

"I think the evening is ultimately memorable because Wiesner and her actors and creative team throw themselves firmly, fiercely, and committedly into the weirdness.  Wiesner’s images, are memorable: the naked Cupid on a catwalk dropping the billowing sheet he is wearing onto the actors onstage below (as is usual at Trap Door, where everyone pairs acting in the play with something else, the actor playing Cupid, Dave Holcombe, is also the box-office person.  Where else in this city, other than Trap Door Theater, can you have a guy cross your name off the reservations list and hand you a program one minute, and then show you his bare ass the next?)"

Praise for The Tearful Assassin

"I sat in my seat with goose bumps running up my arm. Stellar cast. Amazing production."

-edge Chicago

"As crisp and streamlined as the writing."

-Chicago Reader

 
Praise for Dork Side of the Moon

"This is a well-cast production, with zestful actors fitting into their roles nicely... good chemistry between actors Jeff Wilson and David Holcombe."

-dane101.com

"the pace is brisk due to frequent scene changes and lots of movement. Dork Side is anything but static; David Holcombe brings the right dash of childlike glee to the immature but good-natured Corey..."

-Isthmus

"Everyone in the cast gives energetic and amusing performances... the playful energy between David Holcombe, carefree and bold as Corey, and Jeff Wilson, who plays Scott with weariness and hope, is infectious."

-Wisconsin State Journal

 
Praise for Dr. Faustus

"Christopher Marlowe's Dr. Faustus becomes a morbid sensory joyride with jarring interruptions in Broom Street Theater's new adaptation."

-The Onion

"...the cast reaches a collective peak before leaving the audience with a final tableau that’s just as creepy — and cool — as Lucifer could wish."

-The Isthmus
