by Lacey Cannon Gonzales - February 26, 2020
THE MOUNTAINTOP is a captivating story and exceptional work of modern theatre. While the proceedings are fictitious, the message at the center is as true today as it was in 1968. Featuring emotional and powerful performances, THE MOUNTAINTOP reminds its viewers that the fight for equity and equality has only just begun. This galvanizing production by Paradox Players deftly marries art and activism and would be an excellent viewing opportunity for all theatre lovers.

BWW Review: The Precise Compassion of THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME at St. Edward's University
by Madelyn Geyer - February 21, 2020
When overwhelmed, we all have different coping mechanisms. Maybe you fall silent, take a nap, or settle into a comforting movie. Christopher, the spectacularly intelligent main character in THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME, precipitously counts prime numbers to self-soothe. Or he collapses to the floor and moans until the stressful event subsides. THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME follows Christopher on his mission to find the person who stabbed his neighbor's dog with a pitchfork after Christopher's found next to the newly deceased canine and accused of the murder. Based on the novel by Mark Haddon and directed by Robert Tolaro, it's the only play I've experienced that opens with a (don't worry, it's fake) dead dog in the middle of the stage. But Christopher's not only dealing with clearing his name. He's also reeling from his mother's recent death as well as preparing to take A-level maths (the play is set in England) in school.

In TINY BEAUTIFUL THINGS, a woman sits on a couch typing away advice to strangers she will never meet in person.
