Happy holidays from Frederique, Charles, Archie, and everyone at City Garage!

“compelling, thought-provoking….as timely and as it is relevant”

“TOP TEN! RECOMMENDED!”

“Dynamically staged…thought-provoking and topical”

“WOW!”

“...an uncanniness that feels friendly and welcoming, suggesting a place where we can all be mad together...”

“... sometimes scorching, sometimes hilarious, always intriguing exploration of human relations…what really grabs our attention and hearts are the performances.”

“Contemporary theater at its most informative and impactful … stunning, gut-punching”

“it hits like thunderclap…”

“Stellar performances from the cast under Frédérique Michel’s direction”

“Approaches the “hallelujah” level!”

“...startlingly compelling as well as rather surprisingly funny...”

“eerie, atmospheric ... well suited to the stylish City Garage aesthetic”

“... a Greek myth scaled down to human proportions ... It’s simple, it’s quiet, it’s deeply personal”

“THE BOURGEOIS GENTLEMAN had the audience laughing from start to finish.”

“Superb acting….Frederique Michel’s clockwork-like direction of Schimmelpfennig’s tricky, provocative play and Charles Duncombe’s atmospheric stage design also deserve the highest praise possible.”

“City Garage, known for daring, highly stylized sociopolitical theater, is the ideal local company to revive this infrequently done, disturbingly timely play.”

“Crowd-pleasing and consistently funny!”

“The piece is fascinating to watch... handsome and visually stunning production, stylized and ritualized.”

“The writing and the performances crackle...”

“A marvelous evening of theater... a distinctive, individual form of dance-theater, using a movement vocabulary that... communicates immediately with gestures sometimes like seductive cabaret performance... ”
