The Disorder Plays
Set Design by Ann Bartek • Lighting Design by Wilburn Bonnell
Costume Design by Rachel Dozier-Ezell • Sound Design by Chris Larsen
|
|
| "With creative, interesting writing, the viewer is easily drawn into the mad world that is laid out before them. The performances while very strong, are better said to be big, as it is only when the house lights go on at the end that you are reminded how small of a theater you are in." - reviewfix.com |
BMW
Written by Cheryl L. Davis
• Directed by Dev Bondarin
Featuring: Jed Peterson*, Miranda Shields
After taking his fiancée to meet his obsessive-compulsive mother, David begins to realize the girl he plans to marry is more like his mom than he realizes. A story about love, enabling, silverware and Googlemaps.
"Lasting no longer than 10 minutes, the audience is given deep insight into the couple’s seemingly superficial relationship and shares Peterson’s disturbing, albeit comical realization as to the true nature of his fiancée." - reviewfix.com |
Cutting
Written by Julie Fei-Fan Balzer
• Directed by Riv Massey
Featuring: Amanda Nichols, Nate Washburn
Emma looks at the hundreds of self-inflicted cuts on her stomach as a badge of honor, but when the man she's involved with learns the truth, will he be able to help her, or will he even want to?
"Amanda Nichols is perfectly intense in her portrayal of a young girl suffering from a habit of self-mutilation and whose final scene of slicing into her stomach repeatedly is enough to make people shift in their seats with discomfort." - reviewfix.com |
Another Intervention
By Andy Snyder
• Directed by Kimberly VerSteeg
Featuring: John J. Isgro, Katherine Nolan Brown, Kyle Minshew*
In this biting comedy, Carl is responding well to medication and therapy to treat his manic depression. However, neither his boss nor wife likes the "new Carl," with his more laid-back approach at work and less passionate attitude at home. But what does Carl have to say about all this?
"Another Intervention is enjoyable...showcasing a man who is on medication for hypomania being asked by both his wife and boss to cease medication...." - reviewfix.com |
The Third Date
Written by Bethany Larsen
• Directed by Maureen Stanley
Featuring: John Graham, Courtney Kochuba
Natalie, who has a history of bad relationships, has another date with David who is struggling to control his episodes of paranoid schizophrenia. Can these two broken souls find each other, and learn to leave their past behind? More importantly, will they make it to the movie in time to secure good seats, and get popcorn??
"...it is The Third Date that truly shines.
Featuring a couple on their second date, David, played by innocent looking John Graham, suffers from paranoid schizophrenia and hopes he can contain himself enough so that he doesn’t scare his date away. Played by a wonderful Courtney Kochuba, Natalie has a tumultuous history when it comes to guys and is taken aback by David’s sincerity and shyness. The two have perfect chemistry and play off each other fantastically, which is only enhanced by their perfect comedic timing." - reviewfix.com |

Emilia continually insists there's something wrong with her, even though the doctor can't find anything. But since it's her birthday, Emilia must be right, mustn't she? Happy Birthday, Emilia!
"...Emilia’s Wish follows a woman suffering from Munchausen Syndrome....A scene in which she describes the allure of getting a CAT scan, utilizing Jed Peterson’s ballet skills, is a definite highlight." - reviewfix.com |
What if…
Written
by ML Kinney
• Directed by Lorraine Cink
Featuring: Melissa D. Brown
A woman becomes obsessed with the possibilities of what might happen and what could happen and what may happen next.
"Utilized brilliantly to segue between performances, Brown comes out between each play to define and describe the mental disorder that will be portrayed....Going into a veritable diatribe on the possibilities of what if, Brown is impressive in her delivery as she goes from wondering what happens when a chunk of ice falls off a glacier to what if the man in the third row had a heart attack." - reviewfix.com |
