On Labyrinth:
​
​
Three stars from Chicago Sun-Times
"Under Spenser Davis' dynamic and fluid direction... a highly capable cast fully [commits] to the play's energetic theatricality... Broken Nose Theatre provides this smart semi-comedy with a tragic sensibility in its U.S. premiere." -Steve Oxman (February 2020)
Three and a half stars from Third Coast Review
"Ensemble members Ambrose Cappuccio, Rebecca Flores, David Lovejoy, Jackie Seijo and Julia Skeggs play competitors, clients, bankers, bartenders and other functionaries with style." -Nancy Bishop (February 2020)
Three stars from The Hawk Chicago
"[A] surreal, white collar crime thriller... the entire cast does a fantastic job playing the distinct roles of a morally corrupt financial machine." -Ryan Moore (February 2020
"The strength of the show lies in its ensemble... Labyrinth is a powerful showcase of the ability of an ensemble to break from the confines of naturalism in order to tell a story even more hauntingly true to life." -Alisa Boland (Rescripted, February 2020)

On Our Town:
​
Three stars from Time Out Chicago
​
​
"The performances given by this illustrious cast lend an incredible amount of meaning to every action, every line and every cause for celebration or pain . . . It’s a cast comprised of “saints and poets,” as the Stage Manager laments to Emily in the end, which lends an entirely new tone to the iconic meta-theatrical show." -Danielle Levsky (NewCity Stage, September 2017)
​
"On some level the success of 'Our Town' traditionally hinges on the actors in these three major roles [Stage Manager, Emily Webb, George Gibbs]. But in the Redtwist production the entire cast offered tight performances. A few honorable mentions to Rebecca Gibbs (Ada Grey), Professor Willard (Rebecca Flores), Mrs. Soames (Jared Michael David Grant) and Mrs. Webb (played by understudy Jeanne Scurek) who each stood out in some way." -Guest Reviewer Reno Lovison (Chicago Theater and Arts, September 2017)
​
​
On Electra Garrigó:
​
"While Piñera fell into obscurity by the end of his life, director Kathi Kaity resurrects this seminal work in a Right Brain Project production that may provoke its own share of contempt. Kaity wisely does nothing to smooth over the script’s disjointed expressionism, putting a premium on physical and vocal stridency ... it's refreshing to see an almost entirely Latinx cast tackle this demanding work." -Justin Hayford (Chicago Reader, March 2017)
​
"The use of the ancient chorus is beautifully imagined through the pillars of a temple/stately home, where the voices of the collective are enshrined in the material world. Kaity’s direction and use of the chorus is wonderfully presented. The invisible forces are reminder of the inexplicable; the unanswerable questions of fate and predestination." -Terence Boyle (Irish American News, April 2017)
​
"The set design (Marni Balint) and the actors are the saving graces of the production. It’s clear the actors were working (and working hard) with what they had." -New City Stage (March 2017)
​
​
On Don't Look:
​
"It’s an intimate performance that fits well in the set created at the Den Theatre. The lighting and sound are expertly done to draw the audience into the world of the play. And to top it all, the performances by all the actors are fantastic and emotionally rich." -Quinn Delaney (PlaylistHQ, June 2016)
​
​
On Fanny's First Play:
​
"Director Elizabeth Lovelady's fine young cast handle Shaw's (and Fanny's) work with impeccable comic timing. It's light as a feather and sharp as a razor..." -Keith Griffith (Chicago Reader, November 2013)
