Review
of Christine Toy Johnson, 03/16/09
"...Christine Toy Johnson proved
once again the reason for her staying power in a career that is

Review of SMART ASS
03/18/09
"With a simple arrangement of
props, the story was enhanced by its theatricality and comedy.
From the lotus position she evolved into an expanding flower,
interspersing dialogue between poses. “When I learned my
center I was balanced” she finished the thought by balancing
her knees on her elbows."

Review of THE SECRET OF O-SONO
03/26/09
"The haiku-like prose was innovative
and immediate, evoking memory, love, joy and pain. The script
encapsulated the simplicity unique to the Japanese aesthetic and
crowned a long contemplative process....The talent of the cast,
and artistry of the entire team made this a memorable not to be
missed performance."

"Orpheus himself would have
been overcome by the depth and richness of last night’s
jazz trio, or at least seduced into melodic submission by the

Review of EMERGING ARTISTS 03/31/09
Mitsu Salmon's FISH DREAMS and Lucas Kwong
"...spinning whimsically into the ocean current, and then
convalescing into butoh-like paroxysms. The interconnectedness
of themes, senses and images make Salmon’s work very satisfying
and unique."
"... [Lucas Kwong] evoked Dylan, Johnny Cash, Radio Head,
and Duke Ellington, but the audience came to see no one else but
the one and only Lucas Kwong."

Review of Andy Akiho 04/06/09
"Andy Akiho is what one calls a 'musician's musician' and
it is not just because he is extraordinarily talented. He knows
how to interact with his fellow musicians, charm his audience,
as well as write and play beautiful music. As proof positive,
last night, he brought together a diverse group of instruments:
drums, piano, toy piano, cello, bass and steel pan, for seven
complex and harmonious numbers that earned him a standing ovation."

Review of RAMONA and DINNER
04/08/09
"...Paola Irun reminded us...there is always more of
our human self to give. Irun stares straight at our visceral selves
and sates the craving for passion and truth of emotion, which
theater first awakened in us..."
