"Art is not a mirror held up to reality, but a hammer with which to shape it" – Bertolt Brecht

“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.”
—Will Manus, Total Theater
“City Garage, known for daring, highly stylized sociopolitical theater, is the ideal local company to revive this infrequently done, disturbingly timely play.”
—Margaret Grey, The Los Angeles Times
Andrew Loviska
“Crowd-pleasing and consistently funny!”
—Stage Raw
Claire Pida, Bo Roberts, and Buddy Brown in Moliere’s “School For Wives”
“All in all, Wake does an astounding, almost Haiki-esque job of giving us the heart, the soul, of the story and very nearly nothing else. We someone with the courage to go on. To trust the supremely unfamiliar. To begin to let go of what, after all, can never come again.”
—David MacDowel Blue, Night Tinted Glasses

“The piece is fascinating to watch... handsome and visually stunning production, stylized and ritualized.”
—Neal Weaver, Stage RAW
Kimshelley Lessard
“The writing and the performances crackle...”
—Paul Birchall, Stage RAW
Andrew Loviska, Johanny Paulino
Yukiko Hadena, David E. Frank, Megan Kim
“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... ”
—Gray Palmer, Stage RAW
Lindsay Plake, Alexa Yeames
