WASHING MACHINE
"...audaciously entertaining...Dana Berger tackles the solo material like a fullback...Chamberlin's superb direction is a knockout..."
-Aaron Riccio, Timeout NY
"Jason Stuart's absorbing solo play [is] confidently and engagingly performed by Dana Berger...lively and intelligent."
-Patrick Lee, Show Showdown
"Intriguing, terrifying, and thrilling...Stuart, Berger, and director Michael Chamberlin work together as theatrical investigators to look beyond the centerpiece of the horrific accident."
