Suzie Bass Awards Nominee for Outstanding Ensemble in a Play for "A Wrinkle in Time"
Creative Loafing names Theatrical Outfit their 2012 Best Theatre Company:
"Downtown Atlanta's Theatrical Outfit enters it's 35th anniversary season on a roll having staged one of the best plays in it's recent history with "Red"...On the other side of the coin, the terrific family show "A Wrinkle In Time" offered a fusion of whimsical characters, imaginative design, and a potentially disturbing theme about the power of Totalitariaism. The Outfit's home at the Balzar Theater gives theater fans the best reason to visit downtown."
What People are Saying:
Nexus
"W (played by the haunting Emma Jackson) is fresh out of a long-standing relationship she is having trouble shaking off. She has sent physical remnants of that relationship to the Croatian museum but there is a good deal she carries with her. On her own, she could be a living art display there. She finds refuge and sanctuary in the galleries of the museums in Washington, D.C., where Mohlman's fascinating, compelling, deceptively simple play is set."
"W is a young professional who, in the wake of the end of a long-term deeply meaningful relationship, is a bit of damaged goods--intenseley private, at once protective and self-destructively daring."
"No sentiment, no mawkishness, no melodrama, no artificial manipulation; just a remarkable 90 minutes of theater."
~Jeffrey Borak, Berkshire Eagle
A Wrinkle in Time
"What a cast! Emma Jackson makes for a plucky and witty Meg...It's the heart and soul of Meg Murray that provide the heart and soul of this play." ~Brad Rudy, Atlanta Theater Buzz
"Emma Jackson as Meg is very convincing and shows a strong range of emotion" ~Jon Hayden
"Emma Jackson (Meg) danced and ran around the stage in the midst of mimicking time travel and was on stage from beginning to end with no intermission. She kept the stakes high and emotions full as she reached the happy ending of love conquering all." ~Caroline Huftalen, The Connector
The Ugly Duckling
"The Swans (elegently played by Emma Jackson and Rose Shields) inform Ted that "Everyone is a litle ugly sometimes, but everyone is a little beautiful always." Their dance sequences, choreographed by Joanna Brooks, give the audience a glimpse of what it might be like to experience Swan Lake perfomed on an actual lake." ~Andrew Wesley, Atlanta Theater Fans
A Piece of My Heart
"Emma Kate Rogers plays the anti-war protestor Leeanne who signs up to be an army nurse in Hawaii only to get shipped to "The 'nam." Her discovery of hatred for the enemy is among the most riveting moments of the production." ~Deanna Jent, St. Louis Riverfront Times
The Man Who Came to Dinner
"Supporting Actress Emma Kate Rogers was also a standout as Mrs. Stanley, the petite, high-strung, people-pleasing wife." ~Kenya Vaughn, KDHX
