(A) stunning performance throughout.

(The Killer) Nancy Bishop, 3rd Coast Review

Dennis Bisto’s brilliant performance dominates Trap Door’s “The Killer.”

Karen Topham, Chicago On Stage

Bukowska and Bisto deliver inspired performances, as surely Jeff-worthy as anything I have seen this season.

(The White Plague) Bill Esler, Buzz Center Stage

Terrific turns in multiple roles from Dennis Bisto as the choleric King Louis XV and chauvinistic Rousseau

Kerry Reid,  Chicago Sun Times

Sonneville and Bisto are excellent in multi-faceted roles

Nancy Bishop, Third Coast Reviews

Dennis Bisto is a solid Hippolytus, at once staunch and vulnerable

Hugh Iglarsh, NewCity Stage

Bisto’s performance makes Hippolytus an easy figure to identify with.
