SAINT JOAN Reviews
“In what can often feel like a dark time these days, a time I really need to believe in something better, it’s uplifting to watch people who do believe and fervently…almost as if theater might be the cure for what ails us, body and soul…Trust me. Go. See Saint Joan. Just go.”

“This production is sure to make you think of Saint Joan in a different light. I personally don't believe in war. But if I was going to be swayed, Annie Schiferl, and this Saint Joan might be the ones to do it.”

"A lovely and haunting production at Calvary Baptist Church...Both the music and the silence are gorgeous in that space, as is the spoken dialogue, unamplified but echoing off the high ceilings."
-Read Cherry and Spoon's review
"Thomas Tallis may be an imagined telling of his life and the historical times, but the themes and emotions portrayed ring true. The Orchard Theater Collective presents a beautiful story of suffering as well as hope and, of course, the stunning power of music."

A DOLL’S HOUSE Reviews
"If you're looking for an anti-holiday show in this busy #TCTheater holiday* month, a little bitter to balance out the sometimes overwhelming sweet of the season, look no further than Ibsen's masterpiece A Doll's House."

"What a tremendous selection for the Orchard’s first public venture, and a stellar adaptation at that. I can’t wait to see what they do next."
