What They Said...
Alan R. Hall, CVNC:
"Aggregate Theatre has given us a wild and savage introduction to its budding theatre troupe."
"[Sophia Lemieux's painting Jesusize is] both dazzling and unsettling... Marc Celestini's musical score wins points for enhancing the action but never intruding on it."

Dustin Britt, Triangle Arts & Entertainment:
"[The Stonewater Rapture has been] directed with sensitivity and precision by Jaybird O'Berski."
"Both actors deliver some of the finest work that I have seen in the Triangle this season."
Martha Keravuori and Chuck Galle, Triangle Arts & Entertainment
"Director Jaybird O’Berski keeps a driving pace..."
"Lexie Braverman and Matthew Hager display disciplined and extensive acting abilities, and create a palpable chemistry so intimate that we tend to feel like window peepers examining something that’s not our business."
"The lighting by Mia Carson is spot on, reflecting the mood as the action moves."
Byron Woods, Independent Weekly
"Director Jaybird O’Berski has developed robust, believable characters we strongly pull for with Hager and Braverman..."
