WHAT THE CRITICS SAY

2007-05-12T23:23:00.000-07:00

"Tender" by Abi Morgan

LA Times-Critic's Choice!-“Literate yet idiomatic, Abi Morgan's trenchant drama of the human hunger for connection receives a gripping U.S. premiere by Syzygy Theatre Group. Working with striking designs, director Che'Rae Adams locates the script's nerve endings. Her sterling actors, cast for emotional quality, play it to the bone”…..David C. Nichols, Special to the LA Times

"Walking Thru the Fire" by John DiFusco

LA Times Recommended!-"Under the smooth direction of Che'Rae Adams and Janet Roston, "Walk'n" into issues that DiFusco has grappled with for a lifetiime"...David C. Nichols, LA Times

LA Weekly Go!-"Blending music, dance and poetry, writer-actor DiFusco and co-directors Che'Rae Adams and Janet Roston take the audience on a richly detailed tour of DiFusco's life."...Lovell Estell II, LA Weekly

"Bonkers to Botox" by Julianne Grossman

“Director Che'Rae Adams is a gifted pro who guides Grossman neatly and cleanly around the almost blank stage and makes terrific use of the performer's impressive voiceover talents.”… Jennie Webb, Back Stage West

"Pandora’s Trunk" by Blaine Teamer

”Field’s efforts are amplified by the fluid helming of director Che’Rae Adams"…Julio Martinez, Daily Variety

"Chesapeake" by Lee Blessing

Critic’s Pick!-“There is physical humor aplenty, and Stevens, with the ingenious help of director Che’Rae Adams, mines it for all it’s worth”….Brad Schreiber, Back Stage West

"Fixing Frank" by Ken Hanes

“Adams uses the sparse production design to great advantage, emphasizing ingeniously expressive blocking patterns and eloquent crescendos of dramatic tension to delineate the characters’ complex inter-relationships. This electrifying, supremely intelligent production easily qualifies as one of the finest offerings of the theatre year to date”…Les Spindle, Frontiers

"Freak of Nature" by Ken Hanes

“Director Che’Rae Adams effectively stages the action drawing out the script’s quirky humor and gathering gloom and she is not afraid to put some fire into a couple of sexually suggestive scenes”…Daryl H. Miller, The Daily News
