SUITE SURRENDER by Michael McKeever
Broadway World
Review: SUITE SURRENDER at As If Theatre (broadwayworld.com)
“The cast of SUITE SURRENDER hits all the right notes and performs with perfect harmony. Each actor embodies their character with such totality of commitment that it is hard to imagine anyone else in any of the roles.”
“SUITE SURRENDER reminds us that laughter is the best medicine to all that ails us. Come to As If Theatre for a dose of good fun to soothe the aches of a long, hard winter.”

Stage Review – Suite Surrender (As If Theatre) — Heilman & Haver (heilmanandhaver.com)
“SUITE SURRENDER is the perfect escape from the mundane and is 90 minutes of pure fun. Delivered by a wonderfully talented cast, it spans the comedic spectrum, from slapstick to deadpan, and is at the same time a situational comedy and, of course, the perfect farce.”
“Sometimes what we really need is that 15 minutes, out in the parking lot after a show, talking to other people about what a fun time we just had. And that’s SUITE SURRENDER.”

Stage Review – The Foreigner (As If Theatre) — Heilman & Haver (heilmanandhaver.com)
“With a talented ensemble cast and fantastic individual portrayals of personal transformation, The Foreigner tackles fear, hatred, ignorance, and racism with a realism that is tempered with hope, love, and redemption. All of the pieces are in place to make this a funny, thought provoking, and entertaining production.”

“Much like a shorts film festival, The Kenmore Quickies offered something for everyone. Some were perfect just the way they were while others were a great appetizer for a full length production in the future.”
“Kudos to the playwrights, directors, actors, and the creative team behind The Kenmore Quickies. The quality of the performances made for a fantastic evening of theatre in Kenmore, WA!”

“The eight shorts in this year’s Kenmore Quickies each took viewers on an unlikely journey, all steeped in Kenmore history. Or at least quasi-history.”
