A Bright Room Called Day presented by Blank Theatre Company at The Greenhouse Theater Center

Around The Town Chicago - Recommended

"...This is definitely an “Ensemble” piece, where each actor relies on the others in the cast to keep the balance in storytelling. Hats off to Raul Alonso, Grant Carriker, Brandy Miller, Shannon Bachelder, Hadar Zusman, Alex Levy, Ann James, and Ben Veatch, who along with Ms Schwartz, Mr. Kennedy and Ms Weisman make up the strong ensemble that brings this deep story to life."

Chicago Theatre Review - Recommended

"...My hat's off to Director Danny Kapinos. This isn't an easy play to bring to the stage, but he's done an admirable job of guiding his large, talented cast. The intimate Greenhouse studio theater appropriately imbues this production with the right claustrophobic feeling. The hemmed-in confines will make theatergoers will feel like they too are trapped inside Agnes' modest Berlin flat. Alex J. Gendal's Projection Design helps the audience keep up with the play's timeline and the ever-changing historical events of that volatile period in Germany. And Cindy Moon has accomplished wonders in Costuming this period production on a modest budget."

Third Coast Review - Recommended

"...A Bright Room Called Day tells the story of how these five friends respond to the events of the next year, as the power of fascism increases. A year later, Hitler, whose party holds the most seats in the Reichstag, is appointed chancellor by Hindenburg and the Nazi government becomes the Third Reich. Some of our friends protest in the streets and support the Russian Comintern movement in Germany (until all political parties are outlawed)."
