Press:
"Bringing “engaging theatre to unconventional spaces,” the “Recession-Era Broke-Ass Theatre Ensemble” has learned how to stage even the greatest works of performance without a stage. Or a theater, for that matter."
- Capitol Hill News

"The Tempest" by William Shakespeare....is staged in a magical grove of 3 trees at Volunteer Park, directed by Tom Dang. If The Gregory's gave out awards for best Tree-ography, this production would win hands down! Creative costuming and movement enhance the show greatly and this production also demonstrates how conscientious casting with regards to race can be done to help clarify relationships."
- Kathy Hsieh (Audience, Seattle Theatre Artist)

Audience Response:
"The choreography and just general interpretation of the story were wonderful. Tom's direction and the actors really brought out the humor, too…What fun to see the troupe do such a marvelous job again, with such very different material."
- Jeanine L.

"This production is an amazing intersection of hard work, talent, imagination, and the collaboration of an impressive collection of brains."
- Barbara H.
