Recent Reviews
“The best performance in the play comes from Madeline Meyer as Shannon… Meyer gives a beautifully rounded and precise performance that nails every beat and contradiction. She is simply wonderful and I hope to see her more often on stage in the future.”

“Madeline Meyer is equally striking as Theo’s classmate Shannon. As one of the play’s few empathetic voices, Meyer provides both support and challenge to Theo’s worldview. Her confrontation with Walsh’s character, Tim, whose cruel rhetoric leaves a lasting impression, is particularly rewarding”
