by Ilana Lucas - Oct 13, 2025

So it’s a good thing to have such unfettered access to that respiration.

Review: BLACKBIRD at Dirt Dogs Theatre Co.
by Brett Cullum - Feb 24, 2025

This is a wonderfully produced version of an unflinching script, which may be the hardest part of BLACKBIRD. It feels so real that the fear factor of an abuser and a victim seething at each other or, worse, being tender to them feels too real sometimes.

The quote states, “The best theater teaches again and again that before one can truly love another, one has to find justice and connection with oneself.”
