Sommerfugl

July 12, 2016 By InViolet Theater

by Bixby Elliot
directed by Stephen Brackett

This is Fiction Graphic

Graphic by Esther Wu

 

 

 

Bixby Elliot’s script, as directed by Stephen Brackett, smartly skips the plodding rhythms of biography in favor of the tension and immediacy of the scene.  The cast of four is magnetic

Sommerfugl is an inspiring and altogether beautiful transgender fairytale.

   . . . careful direction (by Shelley Butler) and vivid performances . . . help the play blossom.

This Is Fiction is the type of small, subtle play that there should be a dozen of every season, but there never is.

40 Weeks (Co-production with Onstage Atlanta)

December 13, 2011 By InViolet Theater


Atlanta Premiere Image

by Michael Henry Harris
directed by Topher Payne

 

Harris is certainly a playwright to watch.

[40 WEEKS] delves into deeper territory: the fragility and precariousness that can surface when new, unstable, radioactive elements are added to even the most stable relationships.

-Andrew Alexander, ArtsCriticATL.com

 

40 WEEKS is an emotionally charged ride and the talented cast grasps the inner raw emotion of love.

-Wilson Trivino, Pure Politics

40 Weeks Graphic

Graphic by Topher Payne

by Michael Henry Harris
directed by Danton Stone


Harris exhibits a promising talent for breezy, naturalistic dialogue

– Ron Cohen, Backstage


Michelle David plays Molly with a bravado that makes you root for her…Kind of a 2011 take on Eve Arden circa 1940’s – a high compliment.

– Scott Mitchell, Reviews Off Broadway


Michael Henry Harris has crafted a very relevant first play, capturing the mind-boggling delicacies and complications of human bonds…

-Lucy Butcher, Show Business


The story speaks especially well to so many young New Yorkers—such as writers, actors, or artists—who push responsibilities aside to pursue their creative dreams, only to be suddenly faced with new obligations.

– Sarah D. Mathews, Woman Around Town
