A Day in the Death of Joe Egg
​
"Director Christina Ashby’s work here is excellent. The time and place are unified like tea with milk and two sugars…From the setting, to the delivery of the humor, to the mise en scene, to the occasionally devastating performances, the play feels well looked after and committed to. It keeps you planted firmly in seat, assured that reality, no matter how surreal, is happening in front of you." - OnStage Blog

Are You Alice: A New Wonderland Tale
​
"'Are You Alice: A New Wonderland Tale’ is an astounding show...The structure of the script weaves the original story and the play’s original interpretation in seamlessly...I was crying walking down the street after this show. Everything about it is excellent." - Lews Reviews
​
"Seven bold performers use dance, physical theatre and inventive puppetry to take us through this emotive hour of Lewis Carroll’s writings...Ideas of identity and belonging are touched on with the clever use of a rotating cast which further enhances this endearing piece." - Ed Fringe for Kids
​
"This play reaffirms kindness to oneself and others as a central answer to the many problems in life. Lewis Carroll would be proud." - Jacob Goldbas, Hi! Drama
​
Poe's Children
​
"This is a love letter for one of the demigods of the American Gothic...This didn’t feel so overly reverent that it felt like the worship of a great white man. It was almost an autopsy...We feel that if he was in the audience watching he might have shed a tear himself." - Young-Howze Theatre Journal
​
" In binding together both Poe’s words and those of the performers, [Poe's Children} takes flight as a piece of energetic yet reflective family drama... It’s the kind of tribute Poe may well have welcomed, and it also gives a new voice to some of the characters in his writings, the weird and wonderful tales in which he still manages to chill our bones."
- Lou Reviews

Life is a Dream
​
“Exploring the lines of reality and dream, Eager Risk Theater's adaptation Life is a Dream is a haunting take on the classic that awakens the drama for a new audience…(director) Ashby did an incredible job imagining the world (playwright) Such and Calderon de la Barca crafted.” - OnStage Blog
