"Becky (Samantha Strelitz), plays the bitch goddess prom queen... Yet as the play develops, and especially as the characters come to life in the hands of the strong ensemble of actors, those clichés start to melt away and our hearts go out to them.

“The versatile, all-female cast and hilarious script in Death for Sydney Black mix Mean Girls, American Pie, and a number of beloved Disney princess tales with bawdy, dark humor, and pop culture references. If you’re a fan of any of the aforementioned movies you’ll probably enjoy this show; we are, and we did.”

The company has developed a remarkable aesthetic over the years, telling stories with economy, immediacy and heightened theatricality.”

"As self-centered sister Celia, Samantha Strelitz created a character that was beyond recognizable. Though she only seemed to care about herself in the moment, the scene between Celia and Else post potential breakup was the strongest of the entire play."
