RE:Horrible Child
Theater of the absurd with an exquisite melding of language and movement. The direction is sharp and tight, and the actors navigate beautifully through some incredibly tricky and poetic wordplay.

RE:The Horrors of Online Dating
Thank you Molotov for a sweet and charming musical about a serial killer. Jenny Donovan has the most expressive pair of eyebrows and eyes you are ever to find on stage. She and the rest of the cast acquit themselves quite well in this jolly romp.

Wonderfully performed, splendidly written. Funny, surreal; the symbolism never interferes with the humanity.

Handbook for Hosts
Delightful, charming, slinky and suave. Grab your black lace gloves, your smoking jacket, and a highball and saunter over to the Studio for a cool summer treat.
