The Time Warp Trio at Lifeline Theatre

Chicago Theatre Review - Recommended

"...Frances Limoncelli’s latest adaption is entertaining, but it lacks some of the sparkle and cohesiveness of her previous children’s plays and musicals. The opening afternoon audience of little ones particularly enjoyed the broad, slapstick performances, as well as the charismatic characters created by this talented cast. Some of the rationale of the kids’ futuristic time travel episode is a bit difficult to follow, but eventually the theatergoer learns to just go with the flow. The topnotch performances, directed by veteran director Heather Currie, are spirited and filled with fun. The greatest compliment for this production is that it’s true to the spirit of Jon Scieszka’s wonky writing, while inventively providing the wit and whimsy of his time travel sci-fi fantasies. "
