What They Are Saying:
Naked Holidays 2011:
“Honest and courageous, Naked Holidays steps outside the Disney-filled Christmas box by offering something entertaining, raw, and audaciously clever. This excitingly raunchy, provocative show will become more of a holiday tradition than egg nog and mistletoe.”
- broadwayworld.com
“. . . it is more overtly titillating and ironic than American Apparel’s best efforts, but the Naked Holidays company is also having as much genuine fun as a bunch of naked people can have together without mistletoe and a fishbowl. There’s nothing sexier than confidence and unfettered joy, and Naked Holidays comes decked in both. Bacchus bless us, everyone.”

Naked Holidays 2010:
” . . . the company encourages us to grab another drink from the theatre bar, loosen up and have a kick-ass time.”
- Micheal Dale, broadwayworld.com
” . . . drunken revelry is exactly what this show is meant to be . . . jam-packed with cheap jokes and cheap thrills.”
- Anthony Johnston, nytheater.com
Naked Holidays NYC 2009:
“ . . . far better than others with similarly provocative titles . . . a skit involving Christmas at a professional wrestler’s house may be the funniest of the year.”
- Neil Genzlinger, New York Times
Manson the Musical:
“ . . . as absurd, senseless, and unabashed as the subject material itself and, as such, it works beautifully.”
- Andrew Turner, stageandcinema.com
“ . . . you can’t help but let . . . a grin emerge on your face, in spite of the original horrific accounts. “
- Elizabeth Murphy, Ain’t It Cool New York.Com
“Director Russell Dobular has braved the strangeness of these characters to create a highly energized, balanced portrayal. The cast is multi-talented . . . pleasantly white trash.”
- Ed Malin, newyorktheater.com
The Godling:
“Top of the 2009 crop . . . creepy-sexy and dependably weird . . . As Fringe shows go this is a veritable bear on a trike.”
- Robert Avilla, SF Bay Guardian
Vignettes for the Apocalypse 2009:
“Pushing theater to the edge fearlessly, and perhaps even wantonly . . .Unlike anything else that’s playing on stage in New York at the moment.”
- Martin Denton, nytheatre.com
Angel Shit:
“Endtimes Productions hits with this piece . . . (Ian Allen’s) sense of humor is sick, and disturbing, and I loved it . . . the funniest play I’ve seen this year”
- Richard Hinojosa, nytheatre.com
Knuckleball:
“(Knuckleball) is the best dramatic work I’ve seen at any Fringe . . . sharply directed . . . lit up by fine, gutsy, focused performances, that grip from the first, and don’t let go”
- Robert Avilla, The San Francisco Bay Guardian
