“I found myself constantly looking from character to character, trying to see what each actor was doing to see if I could piece together the mystery. I could tell that director Gabe Spencer helped his actors create believable characters. It’s easy to over-act in a mystery like this.” --Heidi-Marie Tice, Front-Row Reviewers (The Mousetrap)

“… Gabe Spencer has a lot of action and physical comedy in this show that keeps the pacing quick, fun and interesting. He has gotten the most out of this talented bunch and the cast work together as a cohesive unit.” --Jessica Johnson, Front-Row Reviewers (The Curious Savage)

“… a wild, romping journey through a fairy-and-sprite-filled mystical landscape… capable of making even the most abject theater yawner joyfully hysterical.”

-Steve Dunford, Utah Theatre Bloggers (A Midsummer Night’s Dream)
