Ashes by ML Kinney • Directed by Julie Fei-Fan Balzer • October 2004 |
"The Milk Can Theatre Company's production of Ashes deserves a big 'bravo' and a longer performance run...ML Kinney did a brilliant job in the composition of the script...[Ashes] is poignant yet humorous, and carries a dynamite cast with an identifiable message - a credit to all involved in the production. The Milk Can Theatre Company should definitely be proud of this one."

Arms and The Man by George Bernard Shaw • Directed by ML Kinney • May 2005 |
"The Milk Can Theatre Company is tackling George Bernard Shaw's multifaceted Arms and the Man , and it's a noble endeavor. Set against the backdrop of the Bulgarian-Serbian war, Shaw's play has his characters wax philosophical about love, the conventions of war, class struggle, and the responsibilities of man...[Katherine Alt Keener's] self-absorbed Catherine Petkoff is a delight to watch...Keener plays her as if she were doing camp Noel Coward--a fading grand dame drunk on her own sense of self-importance."

Mushroom in Her Hands by Anne Phelan • Directed by Julie Fei-Fan Balzer • May 2005 |
|
"The Milk Can Theatre Company clearly likes a challenge...Under Julie Fei-Fan Balzer's capable direction, the actors are let loose to play. Jessi Gotta perfectly captures the innocence and impudence of 14-year-old Alice...Daryl Lathon tackles five roles and makes each his own distinct creation, stealing every scene he is in with his outrageous humor...[Carolyn McDermott] hits a grand slam with each of her four roles, most notably her hilariously hypersexual March Hare. Her deliciously inappropriate behavior makes you laugh out loud...[Costume Designer Marija Djordjevic] creates a world of brilliant imagination, and her costumes come alive. Djordjevic's Wonderland is a cross between Willy Wonka and the world of the Marquis de Sade...The Milk Can Theatre's production is a bold attempt to present something unique."
