REVIEWS:
"Still the most clever, most urgent show in town."
J. Scott Hill, Chicago Stage Review
"Allen's tongue-in-cheek updating of a futurist entertainment... is unashamedly live and democratic theater."
Lawrence Bommer, Chicago Reader
"...pure artistic expression, a sort of mental and emotional purging for the performers that, quite often, resonates in some way with the audience. Whether this resonance is characterized by laughter or a somber silence depends on the scene."
