On The Eve at Theatre 3 (in which I am the production assistant, including operating the light board)
We done good!!!
"You say you want a revolution? This one is worth watching."
Nancy Churnin, Dallas Morning News
And this is probably one of the best descriptions of the show's plot I've seen:
"...the audience walks into an old, abandoned theatre somewhere in the future during a war of apocalyptic proportions (understanding the location was greatly aided by the huge architectural drawing of the upper balconies of a grand theatre hung across the entire south wall of T3’s space). To keep hope alive and insanity at bay, the people perform a story they have invented over and over again. Apparently, it has always been acted and sung the same way with the same outcome, but this time the story shifts and things begin to go awry. The group’s leader (and their play’s narrator) begins to lose his control, and the story changes direction and focus until the actors gain back the ending they need to keep hope alive, that is, within the boundaries they have so carefully devised."
Mary L. Clark, The Column
"If you were lucky enough see it in its initial run, chances are you're already planning on seeing again in these next few weeks, as the musical makes its professional world debut at Uptown's Theatre Three. If you were lame and stayed at home last winter, consider yourself lucky: You've been given the gift of a second chance to become legitimately awesome and attend this incredible spectacle"
Hannah Allen White, Central Track
"On The Eve continually reminds its audience of the dangers of conformity and submission. It heeds its own advice, eschewing the traditional and laying claim to an entirely original, absolutely thrilling theatrical experience. Get your tickets to this revolution."
Lindsey Wilson, D Magazine
"If you like theater even the smallest bit, or you just like fun and the feeling of living, it’s for you."
Liz Johnstone, D Magazine
"In recent years, it’s been said by many that North Texas is in the midst of a theatrical golden age, producing its best work ever. On the Eve leads that revolution, charging with the weapon of original thought to fight against stasis and, worse, mediocrity"
