Bob Abelman

Sharr White’s fractured, one-act treatment of Homer’s 8th century BCE poem “The Odyssey” is getting a beautifully performed but anemically designed production at none too fragile.

ANNAPURNA is the tale of two highly damaged people, caught in an impossible climb to the top of an impregnable mountain, confronting their damaged lives.

Kerry Clawson

Outstanding Equity actors Jeffrey Grover and Derdriu Ring unpack all the emotional baggage that these two badly damaged people possess. They vividly portray the resentment and recriminations that have built up for so long, making the tragedy of this couple feel very real yet at the same time bringing into shocking focus the power of forgiveness.

Mark Horning


For those looking for a really adult night out look no further than this performance.  From the opening scene with male nudity to the profanity and frank discussion of spousal abuse and death this is no Disney production suitable for the entire family. It is abrupt, sharp, concise and in parts extremely funny. This show is for people who don’t mind a bit of shock value with their theater.

Christine Howey
Despite two fine performances and apart from the promising opening, this production as directed by Sean Derry lacks the necessary sizzle, sausage-wise and otherwise.

Andrea Simakis

Ring and Grover, two the area's best actors, are superb, able to navigate the humor and pathos of their characters with the skill of seasoned climbers.
