Tony Brown, The Cleveland Plain Dealer
"It is one of the most exciting, original and confounding experiences I've witnessed in my 11 years covering Cleveland theater."
Christine Howey, Cleveland Scene Magazine
"There are a couple moments that linger in the memory, such as when one actor speaks the lines that another lip-synchs..."
"The actors from the first play join Koesters...in an attempt to merge the two works. But that unity is less important than the sum of the theatrical parts on display here. The other performers include Ray Caspio, Michael Prosen, Val Kozlenko, Darius Stubbs, and Amy Pawlukiewicz, all of whom give their all to make Paul's concept of O'Donnell's challenging theatrics resonate."
Roy Berko
"The Theatre Ninja production, as is the case with Paul's work, is well conceived. The actors are centered on their purposes, stay in character, and create the proper intensity. LACAN features Ray Caspio, Val Kozlenko, Ryan Lucas, Amy Pawlukiewicz, Michael Prosen, Nick Riley and Darius Stubbs...INOCULATIONS is a confounding yet fascinating evening of theatre."

Recently, I participated in a three-week directing workshop taught by Seth Gordon, former Associate Artistic Director of The Cleveland Play House and current Associate Artistic Director of The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis.
The scene I chose to direct was from The Glass Menagerie, Scene Seven, by Tennessee Williams.
It stars Scott Gorbach as Jim and Debbie Lenarz as Laura.

Cleveland, OH

Directed by Dylan Winter Dwyer
A hard-hitting, innovative play that examines modern religion and causes
everyone to ask questions about what they believe. The afterlife has become
a courtroom where those who await their final judgment are actually put on
trial. This particular trial focuses on Judas Iscariot, more commonly known
as the Betrayer of Jesus. In this play, the assumed guilt of Judas is
examined as the Purgatorial courtroom calls such witnesses as Saint Peter,
Mother Teresa, and Satan himself.
