by Rob Levy - Jan 21, 2025

Poignant and empowering Athena is thoroughly engaging and engrossing. This is a well-acted theater experience dig beneath the surface of a centuries old sport to expose a world where comradery and competition both have a price.

Review: THE TURN OF THE SCREW at Union Avenue Opera
by Benjamin Torbert - Jul 10, 2023

“The Turn of the Screw,” a deft psychological exploration of the dimensions of horror and the human mind. UAO’s successful staging of the work appropriately raised more questions than it answered, about danger, fear, the limits of human perception, and a host of other commonplaces in horror.

Review: WHAT THE CONSTITUTION MEANS TO ME at The Marcelle Theatre
by James Lindhorst - Apr 17, 2023

Michelle Hand is mesmerizing as Heidi, driving nearly all of the play’s dialogue. Her indelible presence is captivating. She enters, introduces herself as Heidi and tells the audience about her mother’s vision to help her pay for college by winning VFW sponsored debates about what the constitution means to her. Throughout the play, Hand steps in and out of character as the adult Heidi, the 15-year-old Heidi, and as herself addressing the audience. As the play unfolds, she unpacks her thoughts on The Constitution, the Ninth and Fourteenth Amendments, and she tackles themes of women’s equality, reproductive rights, sexual assault, domestic abuse, immigration, and the decisions significant legal cases have had on women in the United States. Hand’s outstanding performance and her conviction for presenting Heidi’s dialogue is unforgettable. When she is playing Heidi, she completely disappears into the role and her electric oration of the subject matter is authentic and convincing.
