Press:

FRANKENSTEIN: "The New Muses presentation of this archetypal drama is a brilliant construction of theatrical art. The spare cast of four is uniformly impeccable. Olson is great as Victor Frankenstein... Stahl imbues (the Creature) with a sensitive vitality... McRill is spellbinding as she plays a multitude of characters... The sound and the music are sumptuous, but the lighting effects are exquisite... One of the finest New Muses theatrical productions that I’ve seen to date." - Dave R. Davison (Tacoma Weekly)
A SERVANT OF TWO MASTERS: “Surprisingly fresh, delightful and genuinely funny. The audience was buoyed by the humor, evidenced by bursts of laughter throughout the play. The scenes were crisp and concise and everything moved along at a nice clip. Cleverly chosen snippets of pop music made pithy punctuation marks at the end of each scene.” - Dave R. Davison (Tacoma Weekly)
INTO THE WOODS: "I like the closeness and the scaled-down set with cheap but highly inventive props… The music throughout is wonderful.... The choreographed movement of the entire cast popping in and out like so many Jack-in-the-Boxes ads a magical quality.... Clawson, Cattin, Dewey and Chris Serface as the narrator and "Mysterious Man" turn in marvelous acting jobs… Olson, founder of New Muses, not only sings and acts wonderfully in multiple roles, but he also does a great job of directing this show, rising to the challenge of scaling down a big stage production to fit in a small house." - Alec Clayton (The Weekly Volcano)
ROMEO AND JULIET: "(W)hen you discover a production that not only says something new with “Romeo and Juliet,” but says it in a compellingly contemporary way, you rejoice… Set inside a cinematic scene sequence with an emotive backdrop of pop soundbites (Beyoncé to Lorde), this “Romeo and Juliet” dives inside the teen mind, pulling the Renaissance firmly into our present. If you have a teen in your life, this is the Shakespeare you’ll want them to see. And if you don’t, see it anyway and ponder that crazy period in all our lives when only death is as strong as love." - Rosemary Ponnekanti (Tacoma News Tribune)
