2004 PEN IS A MIGHTY SWORD WINNER
GRAY AREA
by John Ahlin.

“Smart, savvy, hilarious…Pick of the Week!”
. . . Travis Michael Holder, Reviewplay.com

“More than a quick witted comedy, a cunningly masked exploration of society…”
. . . Entertainment Today

“Comically delicious…Absurdly delightful…Laugh out loud funny…Passionately proves a point…”
. . . Backstage West

“…Act I is a boatload of laughs, but the meat of the play is Act II: Lively, astute, passionate exchanges about history, racism and destructive attitudes and perceptions. It is impossible to spurn the refreshing simplicity and honesty of sentiments, not to mention the play’s intelligence and wit! Recommended!”

. . . Lovell Estell III, LA Weekly

“Stunning…Tour de force…Brilliantly written…My critics pick, Don’t’ miss it!”

. . . Gerri Garner, American Radio Network

 

Other VTP Productions

 

'BELFAST BLUES' a wee but elegant show

"A particular thrill accompanies the discovery of outstanding ability, and that sensation attends the Virtual Theatre Project's presentation of "Belfast Blues" at the Black Dahlia Theatre. Writer-performer Geraldine Hughes' autobiographical reverie, though small-scaled, is thoroughly satisfying, the most elegant solo performance work seen locally since Tim Miller's Body Blows".

. . . David C. Nichols, Los Angeles Times

 

BROTHER BRIAN SISTER KATHLEEN

 

"American Playwright Kim Terrell's original drama is sensitive and thought provoking. . . . absorbing performances by Mark Travis Fuller and Kathy Jenkins Piotter . . . Credit Jonathan Christman for the moody scenic/lighting design and Marc-Ari Solomon for the sound."

. . . Ed Kaufman, The International Hollywood Reporter

"evocative production . . . wonderfully eerie . . . Fuller invests Brian with an intriguing charm and wit; it's easy to believe he has inhertied his father's Gallic sense of humor . . . exudes a poignant sense of sadness and resignation."

. . . Julio Martinez, Daily Variety
