Between a Wok and a Hot pot
by - Amanda Lin
“Between a Wok and a Hot Pot”...is smarter than it first appears, transforming into a subversive critique of the “identity play” genre it initially sets itself up to be.

I am william
by-Rebecca Déraspe
“Director Esther Jun’s production is pretty much pitch-perfect and her four performers seem to have great fun time acting in this Elizabethan travesty.”

pal joey
Book by John O' Hara, Music by Rodgers & Hart
“In [Esther's] hands and those of her able cast, Pal Joey feels like a musical far ahead of its time. Its depiction of a grasping, superficial world anticipate the even darker worlds of musicals like Kander and Ebb’s Chicago (1975) or Sondheim’s Assassins (1990).”

theory
by-Norman Yeung
“Theory punches up hard with its social commentary, but while all this is happening a tense thriller edges its way on to the stage and into the recesses of your mind.”

by-Evan Placey
