Dark Sisters Reviews
Chicago Reader- Somewhat Recommended
"...In this production, by Third Eye Theatre Ensemble, a rotating cast is accompanied only by music director Jason Carlson on keyboard. He does a valiant job, and on the night I saw it the show featured piercing dramatic performances, but we're left wondering what the score should really sound like."

"...Freeman leads her cast up the rocky mountainside of injured love and they never looked back. While all the roles are double-essayed, the opening night cast consisted of Kelley Hollis, Meghan Guse, Melissa Arning, Sarah Litchfield and Mary Lutz Govertsen as the five sister-wives. Each artist burned with an inner monologue that decried their proscribed sameness and sang with truth’s fire, to hypnotic effect. Hollis, as the wife who escapes yet cannot save her daughter (Angela Born in an aching performance of love and sacrifice), keeps the audience from utter despair as her soul’s wings strengthen."
