Spark presented by 20% Theatre Company at Flat Iron Arts Building

Chicago Reader - Somewhat Recommended

They fight a lot, usually invoking their dead mama. There's some backwoods mysticism and a guy named Hector who insists that he loves prickly Evelyn, though who knows why. Then everybody reconciles: again, who knows why. Denise Yvette Serna's miscast staging adds a whole other layer of stasis and opacity to this 20% Theatre production."

Windy City Times - Highly Recommended

"...The concept of women seeking their fortune in the ring or on the battlefield may baffle audiences accustomed to conventional gender roles, but Caridad Svitch is not a playwright to traffic in sexist stereotypes. However remote the experience of the Gilmords may be from our own, Denise Yvette Serna's subtle direction, a cast delivering full-bodied, delicate-subtexted performances, a minimalist stage ambience detailed down to individual birdsongs-indeed, every aspect of this 20% Theatre production-ensures our emotional investment in the realization of their goals."
