Work Hard Have Fun Make History Reviews

Chicago Tribune - Somewhat Recommended

"...Even if the play as a whole doesn’t hold together, audience members who enjoy the absurdist genre and unconventional takedowns of capitalist culture should find “Work Hard Have Fun Make History” worth their time. For better or for worse, this show certainly isn’t afraid to get weird."

Chicago Reader - Somewhat Recommended

"...First Floor’s production, directed by Tina El Gamal, is anchored by charming performances from Sahar Dika, Jenn Geiger, and Alice Wu, who each play a handful of (mostly) unnamed characters. The play’s first act is an extended mime sequence set in a fulfillment warehouse scored by a dead-end customer service call, the discord of the call a match for the workers’ inability to keep up with demand."

Third Coast Review - Not Recommended

"...Director Tina El Gamal does their best to bring tang’s unconventional script to the stage, though the production’s abstract nature limits its overall impact. Moments of absurdist comedy occasionally land well and will likely appeal to some audience members, while leaving others disengaged."

BroadwayWorld - Highly Recommended

"...If you’re looking for a theatrical experience of existential dread and cerebral laughs to make meaning of the climate, consumerist, and cognizant collapse of society, then make sure you stop by Raven Theatre before June 6."
