Antigone

“Antigone's main strengths were [Greg] Taubman's direction and the superb performances of Pëtra Denison as Antigone and Russell Jordan as Creon. They came across as fire and ice, with Denison's Antigone passionate and intense and Jordan's Creon so calmly sure of himself that he rarely bothered to raise his voice.

“I have never been so emotionally involved in a Greek tragedy, including various big-deal Broadway versions with big-deal Broadway and West End stars.”
- Wendy Caster, Show Showdown

“In addition to her stalwart and tragic Antigone,
Ms. Denison gives us a delightfully (and literally) twisted prophet Teiresias, and a thoughtful Messenger, inhabiting each role forcefully and with conviction.”
- Jon Sobel, BlogCritics.org

The Bowl

​"Then there is a wonderful piece of apparent fluff, Teresa Lotz’s The Bowl, masterfully directed by Jenny Greeman. It takes a while to figure out that we’re witnessing four fish (divinely costumed by Mr. Peter Fogel) in four separate bowls in a pet store. A terrific ‘school’ of actors—Jarel Davidow, Pëtra Denison, Ray Rodriguez, and Mary Sheridan—swim to the top of the class here as they try to reach each other and find a way out of their individual bowls into bigger, communal waters. Fish they may be, but in Ms. Lotz’s hands, they say something about our need to connect.”
