Gallery

Trap Door Theatre’s production of Mark Brownell’s Monsieur d’Eon Is a Woman, directed by Nicole Wiesner, is a striking example of the company’s highly stylized, choreographed, madcap productions.

Nancy Bishop, Third Coast Review

****Highly Recommended!

Jacob Davis, Around the Town (about Into The Empty Sky)

A fluid ensemble of six women bring a mix of sinuous physicality and rich emotional shading that seldom veers into the precious or sentimental.

Kerry Reid, Chicago Tribune (about Into the Empty Sky)

…this show casts a spell which lingers long after one leaves that bare, woebegone room.

Dmitry Samarov, Chicago Reader (about Into the Empty Sky)
