Colossal
Mixed Blood Theatre
Twin Cities Daily Planet- Highly Recommended
"...The best thing about Colossal is that it trusts the audience to be able to make these connections. The story isn’t told in a strictly linear fashion in either the past or the present. People almost never fully say what they mean. Memory is unreliable and changing. But the writer and the production wisely puts the puzzle pieces in the audience’s hands and lets them shape the narrative and find the truth inside it. Even if (like me) you don’t really understand football or dance or men in love, you’ll recognize and connect with the human struggles in Colossal. Emotionally and intellectually, Colossal is an enormously satisfying viewing experience. For an unproducible piece of theater, it turned out remarkably well."

Twin Cities Pioneer Press- Highly Recommended
"...There's a distinct possibility that "Colossal" packs more issues and action into its 65 minutes than any other piece of theater you'll see this season. It's breathtaking and audacious in its ambition, percussive and high-flying in its execution, galvanizing in its effect."

How Was The Show- Somewhat Recommended
"...All in all, Colossal seems torn between the quiet demands of the basic story and the rollicking panache with which it’s presented. Perhaps a balance can be struck between the two impulses. It hasn’t happened yet."
