SWEET Dark, provocative, unmistakably a creation of theater, Kill Me leaves the audience thinking and feeling. Richard Becker – Creepy LA SWEET I enjoy seeing a performance that makes me think.

VERONICA’S ROOM (VISCERAL COMPANY): 94% – SWEET

Debbie Kagy – Tolucan Times SWEET This 85 minute single-act two-person drama, penned by Radha Bharadwaj, and tensely directed by John McCormic, has everything a mystery-thriller needs: suspense, loathing of authority, sweaty, uncomfortable, repetitive [...]
THE REVENANTS: 60% – SWEET
