Press

"The concept here seems to demonstrate that invention is the break-through and the artist takes it from there. The play ends with a tribute to Alice Guy, whose many films were lost and forgotten and who died without an obituary at age 95. Melies also ended his career selling newspapers in the Paris Metro. It's good to see these pioneers given their just due, if only in many little moments, by an ensemble of such talent." — Laura Hitchcock, Curtain Up Los Angeles
