Steve Spencer
written by produced by Black Sheep Productions March 9 - April 15, 2007 at the Royal George Theater in Chicago Scenic Design by Jim Moore; Lighting Design by Dennis Grimes; Costume Design by Tiffany Sarver One of the best theater productions of 2007 - TimeOut Chicago and New City |
"...one of the best off-Loop productions of the year... Rarely are fringe productions this sure-footed... Directed with a firm grasp of tone by Vance Smith" -- Nina Metz, Chicago Tribune "Even small gestures speak volumes in Vance Smith's attentive staging" --Jenn Goddu, Chicago Reader |
"... what really put this show over the top was a
knockout cast and the near-perfect staging by the brand new Black Sheep
Productions (with director Vance Smith at the helm)"
-NewCity, Best of 2007 "thanks to the cast of everyday all-stars assembled by director Vance Smith... the ensemble took Spencer's fastball script and knocked it out of the park." -TimeOut Chicago "..pungent, explosive, dark little comedy, and it’s rather brilliantly performed by a veteran crew for the new Black Sheep Productions. Pumped up by Vance Smith’s astute yet brassy direction, Kevin Stark turns in an astonishingly hyper-energized performance as Jack." --Jonathan Abarbanel, Windy City Times |
