Blackbird presented by The Guild Theater at Second Stage Theatre

ChicagoCritic - Highly Recommended

"...Blackbird deals with some heavy, mature themes, and is not something to bring the kids to. But if you looking for a powerful theatre experience, get to this show while it’s here. Again, there are only five shows left, so don’t miss out. You may not be as lucky as I was."

Chicago Stage and Screen - Not Recommended

"...Unfortunately, the humanity and complexity in the script is almost all but lost in The Guild Theatre's production. To begin, I start with some irksome decisions made by Director Daniel Scott. Perhaps the complete lack of music or ambiance before the show was a choice to make the setting more intense, but it certainly doesn't work when the show starts ten minutes late. Secondly, I think anyone who has been to Stage Left appreciates the fact that they have the worst building layout in history (the bathroom right upstage? Really?), but making the announcement twice probably isn't too necessary."
