Brother's Keeper presented by Subtext Theater Company at St. Bonaventure Church

Chicago Reader - Somewhat Recommended

"...Subtext Theater Company's inaugural production is a pair of one-acts about the blessing and burden (more often burden) of brotherly love. The first, Dolly Llama, centers on a rural family fighting over their matriarch's ashes; the second, a prodigal son returning home to watch after his mentally challenged sibling while their alcoholic mother is away."

Around The Town Chicago - Recommended

"...The blocking, lighting, and set (Vern Cholagh) likewise seemed stronger in the second play which aside from the backdrop, clearly designed for the longer, stronger, piece, is confusing as both pieces were directed and presumably lighted by the same people. Perhaps the heavy plot of "Orion's Belt" called from more sophisticated lighting design (John Galt) and meaningful movement, and it certainly was that. The lighting, and scenic design produced winter, night, and, when two characters on the stage spoke over the telephone: remoteness. In this, the design was assisted by gifted blocking that consistently sustain beauty and artistry as the characters are forced to move to the play's tragic conclusion."
