After The Fall:
Chicago Sun Times- Highly Recommended
"To get right to the point: The Eclipse Theatre revival of "After the Fall," Arthur Miller's three-hour, quasi-autobiographical drama -- a work that is equal parts confessional, self-lacerating and self-justifying rant and Freudian self-analysis -- is brilliant on every count." Read Full Article
Steel Magnolias:
Chicago Critic- Highly Recommended
"...The cast wins us from the start as we meet the kind Truvy, played with low keyed down home honesty by Calidonia Olivares. Jessica Maynard, as Annelle, nicely depicts the young impulsive hairdresser while Sharon Roseri nails the wit and wisdom of the rich widow, Clairee. Lorraine Freud aptly has the biting wit of a sarcastic older woman, Ouiser. Stephanie Wooten-Austin is the controlling yet loving mother of Shelby, M’Lynn while Sara Pavlak, in her Chicago debut, stars as the lovable, shining human spirit, Shelby. Pavlak is charismatic, charming and sweet. Her performance anchors the play. The rich Southern accents and the comrade was truthful giving the play a winning authenticity. You laugh and cry with this beautiful tribute to friendship, community and the power of the human spirit." Read Full Article
Journey to the Center of the Uterus: Adventures Infertility:
Chicago Reader- Recommended
"Kathleen Puls Andrade's one-woman comedy recounts her taxing, marathon efforts to get pregnant despite being over 40 and having a uterus roughly the size of an "over-roasted cashew." One countrified musical number features... "Goin' down the hoo-ha highway" (...in another song she rhymes "tutor us" and "uterus," which ain't half bad). ...the handful of quiet, truthful moments are incredibly moving. A scene where Puls Andrade receives a hope-dashing phone call while standing in line at a Circuit City store had me wiping away tears."
