SPAIN was directed by Shana Gold. It was performed in December 2008 at the Bridge Theatre at Shetler Studios with the following cast:

Eric: Todd d'Amour*
Beth: Esther Barlow
Jared: Michael Rubenfeld

Reviews for SPAIN:

"If you're interested in the next generation of stage stars, catch Spain. We'll be hearing more from all three actors on stage."
- Mark Peikert, Backstage For full review, click here

"At one hour and twenty minutes, Spain ends abruptly, yet exactly when it should. The characters hold the viewer’s interest through the play’s final moments, but they have little more to say to each other. What has not been said is what they are incapable of saying."

Reviews for Humans Anonymous:

“A promising new playwright, an attractive cast, free beer, and a director to keep an eye on: Who could possibly complain?”
- Marc Miller for Backstage (Critics Pick) Full review click here

“Humans Anonymous succeeds mainly on the strength of the chemistry and timing of Williams & Barlow (both fine actresses) and the playwright’s sense of humor.”
- Suzanne Lynch for Offoff Online Full review click here

“While the sexy but insecure hero, Ellen, has to open the show with a false smile, nodding and holding herself as if she can simultaneously fit in and stand out, I don't need to be false at all: Kate Hewlett's written a wonderful comedy that zips through overtly comic scenes while remaining anchored to a real human connection.”

Zarathustra Said Some Things, No?
By Trevor Ferguson

Zarathustra Said Some Things, No was directed by Robin A. Paterson. It was performed in May 2006 at Theatre 54 at Shetler Studios with the following cast:

Adrienne: Lina Roessler*
Ricky: Brett Watson*

Reviews of Zarathustra Said Some Things, No?:

"The play, and these two performances, are easily among the best you'll see on the off-Broadway stage this year."
- Jon Sobel, Blogcritics Full review click here

"You won't find better performances by actors anywhere. For thirty dollars, you can see Roessler and Watson put on a master class in stage acting, or you can spend a couple hundred to watch Julia Roberts wonder what to do with her hands. It's an easy choice."
- Dan Callahan, onOffOff.com Full review click here

"The brilliance of the writing is in the timing... Lina Roessler and Brett Watson are astonishingly powerful in these roles... Robin A. Paterson’s direction is careful and maintains the delicate balance and pacing necessary for this play to work... If you're looking for a solid, young theatre company to follow, The Bridge Theatre Company merits serious consideration."

Lone Star and Laundry & Bourbon were directed by Janice Goldberg. They were performed in February 2006 at Theatre 54 at Shetler Studios with the following cast:

Laundry & Bourbon

Elizabeth: Jennifer Laine Williams*
Hattie: Robin Suzukawa
Amy Lee: Ellen Dolan

Lone Star

Roy: Jason Fraser
Ray: Avi Glickstein*
Cletis: Dustin Olson

Reviews of Laundry & Bourbon and Lone Star:

"...The six actors turn in convincing portraits... [Ellen] Dolan...pushes up the stakes by relishing every nasty item, leading to a hilarious catfight... [Jason] Fraser is commanding as the town's most popular boy who has never quite grown up, while [Avi] Glickstein and [Dustin] Olson turn in delightfully eccentric performances."
- Victor Gluck, Backstage Full review click here

"Have you ever longed for small-town life in early '70s Texas? Even if you haven’t, this evening of one-act plays has humor for bumpkins and city slickers alike...it’s enjoyable and the talent here clearly demonstrates the extraordinary potential of this young theatre company... As Elizabeth, Jennifer Laine Williams steals every quiet moment and practically holds the audience hostage...Dolan has the stock-character shtick of the town gossip down cold, and she is so good at it and so funny that it’s almost creepy ..."

Making Marilyn
by Ken Cameron

Making Marilyn was directed by Robin A. Paterson. It was performed in November and December 2005 at Theatre 54 at Shetler Studios with the following cast:

Marilyn Monroe: Ashlie Atkinson*
Scout: Patrick Costello
The Policeman: Robin Mervin
Reverend/Bobby: Devin Scott
Lilly Clark: Reyna de Courcy

READ ABOUT MAKING MARILYN IN THE NEW YORK TIMES HERE

Reviews of Making Marilyn:
 
 "...As Scout’s tough-talking, whiskey-swilling mother, Atkinson is all swagger and attitude. Her Marilyn, meanwhile, charms and delights, making the play come alive with each movement and word. In an astounding marriage of technique and natural talent, Atkinson seamlessly transforms herself from one character to the next and back, often within seconds. She modulates her voice, lowering the register for Scout’s mother and raising it to bring Marilyn’s breathy whisper to vivid life. But Atkinson’s most accomplished feat is her ability to physically transform herself; her entire body changes so convincingly, it is like watching two completely different actresses at work."
