"I found the deconstructed script delightfully enigmatic and the forced focus on the visceral impact of the story completely captivating... The overall effect of the show is a truly immersive experience." -- KDHX
"Hamlet: See What I See... is a visual confection as well as a satisfying dramatic adventure, well worth an investment of time to experience." -- Ladue News
The Attendants 2020
As part of its “Brookfield Place at Home” campaign, Arts Brookfield commissioned an updated virtual version of the Attendants called The Attendants 2020—but this time, the clear cube was swapped for the audience's collective computer screens.
"Thankfully, the arts community knows how to improvise.
“I've been saying since day one of this pandemic, the artists are well equipped for this. We are accustomed to rolling with punches, figuring things out on the fly, doing a lot with a little, and communicating,” said Melanie Armer" -- BizBash

"...Cosmic Opera has been the talk of the town for quite sometime now. Riding the hype of Act I with Axwell's head-lining performance then later leading into Fedde le Grand and Zedd's tag team on Act II. Axwell's performance was booming, an especially perfect pick for the first act of the series. The interludes for Act II were something I had never seen in an EDM show before and mad creative. The fire and the acrobats were a nice touch. Each and every show I go to for Cosmic Opera was better then the last and have us wishing we could just go back. The theatrical theme grows more vast and intricate as well. Now everyone wants to know the who, what, and where for Act III..." - Illuminarti's blog
