| The Funny Feminist | Big Vision Empty Wallet |
| "...I thought the cast as
a whole was quite strong and elevated the script to another level." "..I would be eager to see other productions with this company because the cast was truly talented." |
"Stealing nearly every scene he’s in, Matt Tester is fantastic in his chimp characterizations and his comic timing. There’s never one moment he’s not fully invested in the character and the scene around him. Hollie Elizabeth Klem and Jenna Sisson are very funny as the two young female chimps, and each have some really killer moments to shine. As Adam & Eve’s monkey mama, Lindsay Arber does admirable work as well." |
