Circle Mirror Transformation, Authenticity Theater, June 2026
“Director [Kelley Jordan] did an amazing job keeping all five actors on task, never rushing any of the action, letting small beats take shape, allowing the audience to just settle in and enjoy the seemingly controlled, yet deeply chaotic, characters as they explore their own damaged neuroses in front of each other - and us.” - Daniel Guyton
THE GLASS MENAGERIE, Authenticity Theater, June 2024
“Director Kelley Jordan has orchestrated a lyrically profound, poetically beautiful interpretation that treats these characters freshly, as if we hadn’t already seen them in a dozen prior productions, as if this time, this may just turn out differently, better in fact, even as the devastating realization arrives that this production too will end with sadness, with Laura blowing our her candles and disappearing into an unknown fate, a fate that Tom himself has (perhaps cruelly) consigned to the void of events never experienced, never remembered… This production, this director, these actors, these designers do full justice to Williams’ delicate play. I loved how the production underscored and emphasized the complex clarity of the emotional core, adding specificity to the familiar story… The Glass Menagerie has always been a delicate figurine of a play, easily shattered by over-the-top acting or heavy-handed direction. In the hands of AuthentiCity Theatre, it is an outstanding exercise in theater, a candle-lit reverie that flickers its graceful emotional complexity and inhabits our own memory with a fragile but certain grip.” -Brad Rudy, SHATTERED SHARDS OF MEMORY
