“Theater for young audiences, just like theater for adults, ranges from the memorable to the painfully bad, with most falling somewhere in between. Rarely is it as arresting and provocative as this.” |
|
“…a good example of theater with an educational purpose. Worthwhile for its physical energy alone, it's hard to imagine anyone not being moved…” |
|
“Too often, youth-oriented theater doesn't connect with its intended audience, nor does it have enough depth to entertain adults. ‘The Stones’ works on both levels, and for that it deserves high praise.” |
|
“a playground for athletic choreography by Jacques Heim, who sends the actors swooping up and down and around the set, accompanied by bike and skateboard. Staged by Corey Madden, ‘The Stones’ is an…intense burst of stage wizardry.” |
|
“Sibyl Wickerscheimer’s ingeniously movable set pieces serve as skateboarding ramps, jail cells and detective’s offices, and Paul James Pendergast’s evocative music and sounds accent the boys’ abject alienation.” |
|
“‘This play looks at the condition of being a young person in contemporary urban situations and what it means to have a great deal of time, energy and curiosity that can be destructive if it's not channeled well.’” |
|
“As typifies modern youth policy debates, both sides fan hostile prejudices against young people to defend their institutions. We should lock up more ideologues and fewer kids.” |
