Both plays [The Laramie Project and Ten Years Later] are performed by the same cast (Baku Campbell, Bruce Manning, Jessica Thompson Passaro, Juliette Aaslestad, Michael Novak, Seth Matz, and Tia Tanzer) playing many of the same characters, and all are wonderful at giving these varied people a voice (even the unpleasant ones). Thanks to their performances, the direction by Sarah Catcher and Ashley Hovell, and the addition of a few key accessories for certain characters, it's fairly easy to follow the flow of story and character. -Cherry and Spoon, 2018
As the scenes play out [The Blue Room], you begin to realize as an audience member that these people are all linked through a common sexual partner, and with this sudden realization, the genius of this once- baffling performance is revealed....We see obsession (Derek Yost and Juliette Aaslestad as a Playwright and Actress), and exploitation mixed up with politics (Chelsea Townsend as an underage model), and are taken to sceneries as different as a dark park bench versus a luxurious hotel room. The ensemble is a young one and they are still strengthening their craft, but there is a notable current of talent in this production. -Julia Amis, DC Metro Theatre Arts, 2014
