Dark Matters presented by Exit 63 Theatre at Rogers Park Women's Club

Storefront Rebellion - Recommended

"...Michael Carey and Ann Sonneville, given some truly wild parameters to work within, deliver solidly naturalistic performances as the gun-shy married couple at the center of the play. (It's worth mentioning, though it's no one's fault, that Sonneville's look and vocal quality match that of Cecily Strong just enough for Bridget's earnest descriptions of her captors to distinctly recall several recent SNL sketches about alien abductions.) Dark Matters feels a little more like a treatment than a fully fleshed-out play, but Ulrey's production marks Exit 63 as a young company to watch."

Chicago On Stage - Recommended

"...Ulrey's direction is tight, and she is aided by some nice lighting from David Goodman-Edberg and original music by Donny Walker. Uriel Gomez's costumes are on point as well. One thing you should be aware of, though, if you decide to see this play, is that the company is having problems with heat at the Women's Club building. Dress warmly, and plan to take advantage of the blankets they provide (and perhaps, if the mood strikes you, the warm apple cider and maybe a little whiskey). It's a chilly facility, but the action of the play helps you to forget that. And you may just find yourself wondering more about alien abductions than you ever have before."
