Quirkiness and kookiness abound plenty in this sometimes clever, sometimes zany, and sometimes mature ‘panto’ twist of the story classic ‘Alice in Wonderland’…And it’s all part of the tremendous fun Ross Petty provides

Digital bullying, especially in the context of sexual orientation, is a formidable force. YPT, along with Mr. Malhi’s robust performance bravely faces the issue with both subtlety and power. It is suggested that “they will hate you.” Hopefully, this strong production will help young people to learn how to face or change this inevitability.

The third section is all Solstice Tait. Her brilliant dance at times is balletic fluidity as she is calmed and then transitions into staccato rhythm that climaxes with grand mal-like seizures as the emotion becomes severe

“Every piece feels full of great reverence and respect for mothers and the women we have in our lives. After viewing you will likely go and call all of the strong women in your life and thank them and tell them you love them.”

“I don’t know if there is any more coming in this story or in this world but it feels as though this creative team has left themselves with a rich enough story to make anything possible. And I will be eagerly waiting for it.”

The title +(dix) confused me when I spoke with Vikram. Our conversation went well as I learned a great deal more about dance, but I wasn’t sure if I truly understood what the title means.

The evening had a true “cabaret” style feel to it with some high barstool seating and a rustic circular stage with red drapery. Dixon’s opening wail on the harp produced the infectious beginning.

“The Earth Moves is another great audio play by Mac Rogers that takes a giant worldwide disaster and filters it through the lens of a radio show. Giving us a very small story that feels massive by the end.”

“‘The Karens’ sets up a world where the three characters we are following are larger-than-life-wacky characters that we can enjoy engaging with. However, just as we are getting comfortable and laughing along, it hits us with some startlingly poignant truths.”

“‘Give Me Away’ is an incredibly interesting and well-done series that asks a lot of big questions and answers very few. With great performances and great writing, I’m looking forward to future episodes.”

“Afterward” took great use of its ten minutes and gave us a brief but powerful conversation between two people already falling apart who have to decide how to move forward as everything else starts to fall apart tool.

“Sloppy Bonnie” was a well written, well-acted, and creatively filmed production with a delightfully simple story, fun and catchy songs, and it is definitely the kind of theatre that we need right now. I look forward to seeing where this show goes in the future.

“Once again, like most of the Open Door Playhouse productions, the voice acting was top notch. This play required a careful hand to get all of the subtle touches and moments of frustration in audio alone and this play delivers.”

“Throughout this last year, theatre makers have been forced to develop new ways to keep creating their art. Some productions have truly risen to the challenge, not just persevering but creating something new and engaging. I'm glad to say Permafrost's “The High Priestess” is certainly one of these. It was a pleasure to watch in a way I have rarely seen since Covid began.”

“‘The Christensen Brothers’ is exactly what a short audio play needs to be. With a talented cast and great writing by Moore, this is definitely worth popping on some headphones and going on the journey with them. Just don’t do it while you drive…or you might have to pull over yourself.”

It’s an important play, and I’ll clarify even more in saying it’s a challenging one on many levels, as so much is said in the dialogue that the listener MUST pay careful and close attention, otherwise it is easy to get lost…

The strength of this production is the performance itself as Ms. Anitafrika, who is Jamaican, uses a great range of voices, characters, and colloquial language to immerse us in the politics of the island nation.

Ms. Ting is clearly an accomplished violinist as she works through renditions of some of John Cage’s major works. Some of her work includes creative dissonance that parallels the chaos with her mother

“While “Penny Slots” definitely doesn’t feel like a short play with its two very quick stories, I did find myself enjoying it and laughing out loud at many moments.”

Just watching Jason Danieley engage in this vocal moment with a resilient emotional strength as he looked up and sang to his beloved wife, the late Broadway actor Marin Mazzie, was highly moving
