Waiting For Godot presented by Tympanic Theatre at Berry United Methodist Church

Chicago Reader - Somewhat Recommended

"...This Tympanic Theatre Godot demonstrates the wisdom of that position. Director Aaron Mays has taken Beckett's cosmically weary mortals, Vladimir and Estragon, and reimagined them as "travelers of Latin American ancestry . . . stranded at the border." The upside is that Mays doesn't do much to follow through on his conceit. The downside: The little he does deflates and confuses the nearly three-hour show, stunting its resonances."

Third Coast Review - Recommended

"...Mays’ direction and staging are solid and the cast is excellent, especially Acevedo as Vladimir and Arredondo as Lucky. Castro becomes an arrogant but befuddled Pozzo, who inexplicably is blind in act two. Carrasco as Estragon is a foil for Vladimir’s cheer and the two make the most of the humor in Beckett’s script. (These two characters are often played for humor, as some of the past actor-pairings suggest: Tom Ewell/Bert Lahr, Zero Mostel/Burgess Meredith, Steve Martin/Robin Williams.)"

NewCity Chicago - Somewhat Recommended

"...The production is not without fresh takes particularly from Felipe Carrasco, whose Eragon promises good things ahead for the young actor. As Lucky, Jordan Arredondo makes good use of his fifteen minutes of degrading fame. Christian Castro's Pozzo is transfixing in his command of the stage. Unfortunately, Vladimir feels more like a character Christopher Acevedo wants to play as opposed to one he is capable of performing successfully."
