Time is a Color and the Color is Blue presented by Avalanche Theatre at Bramble Arts Loft

Chicago Reader - Somewhat Recommended

"...It's an earnest piece that tries mightily to weave Whittaker's personal traumas into the larger story of human destruction of our planet. But Coffey's play sometimes feels overstuffed with ideas, while underdeveloping some key points that strain believability at times. (Why didn't the researchers have access to weather reports telling them a catastrophic storm was moving in? Why would any responsible team leader allow someone to go off on their own on a potentially dangerous quest, even-or especially-if they are lovers?)"

Around The Town Chicago - Somewhat Recommended

"...Melanie Coffey's intense psychological portrayal has been developed into a well-crafted production as part of Avalanche Theatre's play incubator series. Skillfully directed by Zoe Sjogerman, the premise is a good one: having to do with envisioning people whom you know and love just before you think you're going to die. Yet the play drags too much in spots: That's because it is being undercut by superfluous elements that detract from the introspective nature of the story."

Buzz Center Stage - Highly Recommended

"...If our day-to-day lives were a collective color, it would probably be the color blue. Whether you are feeling blue, have the blues, or are just Blue (Da Ba Dee), it's the color most closely associated to feelings of sadness, of cold, depression, or loneliness. Not every day is going to be sunshine and rainbows filled with vibrant hues. Some days are just...blue. Personally when I feel blue, sad songs are more poignant, rain is more comforting, and I gravitate towards shows, plays, and movies that make me feel something deeper. Because when I'm blue, I want and need to feel everything. If you want to feel something deeper too, then Time Is A Color And The Color Is Blue now playing at Bramble Arts Loft is just the play for you."
