"Is He Dead? a Confident Artistic Vision, Beautifully Executed"
- Rob Taylor PTTG Review
"Much of the success of the production can be credited to director Joshua Waterstone whose stylistic vision and consistency the cast fully buy into... When it comes to the comedy itself, Waterstone successfully guides the stylistic variations of the script’s comic tropes into a consistent and believable comic milieu. It comes from confident directorial choices, good casting and creative vision.

Melancholy Play by Sarah Ruhl
Directed/Produced by Joshua Waterstone
Stage Manager: Ben Adams
Scenic Desgner: Vicki Halverson
Lighting Designer: Sarah Resch
Costume Design: Julie Douglas
Technical Director: Matt Rightmire
Cello Score by: Michael Roth
Bullet is inspired by Charles Starkweather and Caril Ann Fugate, two teenagers who embarked on a murderous crime spree in Nebraska and Wyoming in the winter of 1958.
"Unlike other works based on the pair — including Bruce Springsteen’s “Nebraska” or Oliver Stone’s Natural Born Killers — Bullet doesn’t glorify or romanticize the violent affair, but instead presents Starkweather (Spenser Stokes) and Fugate (Brenna Hill) for what they were: dumb kids. "

"'Melancholy Play' proved a success despite its shoestring budget.
So much so, the character driven dramedy was one of seven plays selected for performance at this week's Kennedy Center American College Theatre Regional Festival.
More than 70 plays were considered."
