“If tonight's production is any indication of what this company can accomplish, Chicago theatre audiences should definitely pay attention.” By Frank Meccia
“While ambiguity can be an effective tool in psychological storytelling, A Body of Water leaves too much unexplained, making it difficult to become invested in the characters or understand the purpose behind their circumstances.” By Emily Werner, Nov 10
