Media Alert---Pam Gilles and her twin Pam Bouvier will be going to this event- Come on sit next to me. Bob is a fantastic actor to get caught up in. Final weekend to see the world premiere of THIS IS BANNED! ...A riddling duo of antiwar one-acts...Machers [plays are] a thought-provoking meditation on the fragile denial that enables humankind’s most destructive of impulses.- LA Weekly Two strong, solid performances by its lead actors make this play (RESET) worth watching as well as the excellent dialogue, and the whole atmosphere of the small 32-seat- air conditioned theater left me with the feeling of having been with the soldiers in their dying, nightmarish reality. –ReviewPlays “Playwright Samantha Macher has a poetic command of language.” “Directors Jonathan Price (RESET) and JR Esposito (WINCHESTER) both utilize a kinetic energy on the sets. The acting is consistent and vivacious.” “Recommended.” –Tolucan Times “Brilliantly staged by Jonathan Price, who serves as director, set designer, and composer of the original music, this staging of “Reset,” credited to A Theatre Connection in association with SkyPilot Theatre Company, captures the bleak, parched desolation of America’s current spate of desert conflicts.” “With scant television coverage of the actual fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq, it may well be that future generations will need to learn from artists the particular hell of these wars. “Reset” should be part of these generations’ education.” -NoHoArtsDistrict This is Banned is a fully immersive evening of ghosts, robots and otherwise dangerous theatre. Set in two worlds hundreds of years apart, this world premiere event written by acclaimed playwright Samantha Macher (To The New Girl, Warbride), is a brutal look at war in a dystopian future, and the haunting of firearm heiress Sarah Winchester.
