PATRON REVIEWS - MERCHANT
“Just saw impressive "Merchant of Venice" produced by SW Southwest Shakespeare Company, hosted at Theatre Artists Studio, its on a short run. Smooth, cleverly staged, with performances that were remarkably resonant, funny, serious, and unexpected. Congratulations Beau Heckman, your direction here is deft, every thing kept moving. See it, tickets at the Southwest Shakespeare Company,Web page. (The rest of their season sounds innovative and powerful.)” - SM
“Tonight’s performance of SW Shakes ‘Merchant of Venice’ was a bare bones yet highly creative showcase for talented actors to shine…Highly recommend!!” - JW
PATRON REVIEW - SECRET GARDEN
“What a beautiful production of The Secret Garden. Saw last night. Well worth the drive to Taliesin West…Great direction, cast, stage movement. I was especially taken with Wyatt Murphy as Mary Lennox who broke my heart and made me laugh and smile beam with their portrayal of Mary's too young anger, innocence and travel to loving; Bethany Baca's portrayal of Martha with her infectious laugh and positive upbeat essence, smart tosses of her hair and delivery of her reproach of Mary to keep her in line toward growth. And then finally Devon Mahon as the Gardener Ben who restores faith and belief in things lost and utter joy, and, exclamation point to his joyful feel good monologue and dance as Robin. Made me want to stand up and wiggle dance in the aisle…WELL DONE all involved in Secret Garden and SWS.” - DL
