The reviews are in!
Here are a few excerpts from the three reviews of Phoenix, which ran in Albuquerque from May 10th - 20th.
From the ABQ Journal:
"Director Katie Becker uses the play’s simplicity to its advantage... 'Phoenix' is presented in 75 minutes without an intermission, but its images linger."
From Broadway World:
"Organ’s quick-paced, witty dialogue always appears true to character and is deftly delivered by the two principals. They - and director Katie Becker - get extra hurrahs for creating a world of their own within the confines of a very small theater, where the ‘stage’ is simply a part of the floor...
The professional, core company, draws talent from around the country (Katie Becker is based in Chicago) and they clearly operate to a very high standard. I look forward to their next season."
From Talkin' Broadway:
"A playgoer never knows how much of the interpretation of a role depends upon the actor and how much upon the director (in this case, Katie Becker), but there must have been some magical synergy going on because this is the best performance I have ever seen by Frank...
The play is enjoyable, with several laughs, some drama, and a satisfying ending. I've been purposefully vague about the plot, hoping that you will see the play for yourself. The performances make it well worth the effort."
