Living Large in A Mini Kind of Way presented by Teatro Luna at The Viaduct

Chicago Reader - Highly Recommended

"...Rodriguez uses dance, a sense of quirk, and a fanciful candy-colored set by Brian Sidney Bembridge to turn a polarizing, exhausting national debate into something digestible and even a little fun."

Time Out Chicago - Recommended

"...This whirl of squabbles and secrets unfolds so rapidly and, at times, broadly across Brian Sidney Bembridge’s bright front-yard set that key moments of connection and revelation don’t resonate. This haste might gear down throughout the run, as the capable cast has a genuine and engaging grasp of its characters. At a post-show talkback, Living Large was commended for asking provocative questions without providing pat answers. That it does—but taking more time with those questions will allow us to consider the answers more fully."

Let's Play at ChicagoNow - Highly Recommended

"...LIVING LARGE IN A MINI KIND OF WAY is a whole lot of story within a short, tight amount of time. The gratifying ending continues to make me smile. People can have a huge impact with even the smallest effort."

Around The Town Chicago - Recommended

"... The actors are all superb, with each understanding the character they play and conveying as much as the playwright gave them to work with. As I said earlier, St.Angelo is fun to watch onstage and Marquez is always a treat ( and in this role she really shows something we don’t often see her portray, a very sexy lady). The two sisters play well off each other and Qunitero, who started off a bit slow, truly grew on me as Lily. I wanted her to find herself and go on with life- in the future, instead of dwelling on the past."
