Double Text at The Public House Theatre

Chicago Tribune - Recommended

"...The co-directors scale everything in a naturalistic key, with the exception being Pettis, who is making the most of the role and leaning into his guy's bro-tastic inclinations. Bagan has given him plenty of material to play with. It's a good riff on a stock character - the idiotic, self-involved pig - but presented in a way that doesn't make your skin crawl."

Chicago Reader - Somewhat Recommended

"...After a single date, Philip and Emma retreat to their respective homes and hornball confidantes for a postgame breakdown. The lecture-style soliloquies (a cliche-filled guide to drink choices is presented without irony) and close readings that follow feel ripped out of the public domain-and from the flip-phone age, oddly enough. Otherwise charming young performers inexplicably snake through the house and use the audience as props, as if to make up for or distract from the lacking material. It doesn't."
