Review: JESUS HOPPED THE 'A' TRAIN is Profoundly Spiritual at Actor's Express
What did our critic think of JESUS HOPPED THE 'A' TRAIN at Actor's Express? JESUS HOPPED at Actor’s Express is an expertly executed, highly spiritual experience that explores some of the “ugliest” truths a person can have with respect and curiosity. It is a powerfully honest story about two poor, abused, and incarcerated men searching for answers.

BWW Reviews: Cast Thrives in Uneven, But Intense SEMINAR at Actor's Express
Like on her Broadway-themed television show 'Smash,' in 'Seminar,' running through June 16th at Actor's Express, Theresa Rebeck pulls away the curtain to revel the struggles required to create something for the enjoyment of others. Being able to see those struggles, both personal and creative, is a bit like seeing a sausage being stuffed; it can be ugly, but, if done well, the results are nonetheless appetizing. While Rebeck's script is mostly edge-of-your-seat exciting, it is riddled with lukewarm cliches. Thankfully, the superb cast compensates with deliciously rich performances. Directed by Suzi Award winner Freddie Ashley, 'Seminar' almost completely avoids the self-important tedium of a writer writing about writers who complain about how difficult writing is.
