STAGE BUDDY
Director Ana Margineanu delivers many interesting choices when portraying both sides of the wall. The point of great theater is to strike at our feelings and leave us wondering why. Bamboo in Bushwick definitely leads that conversation.

THEATER PIZZAZ
There are few opportunities to see New York City in such an imaginative and innovative fashion. Broken City is an opportunity that should not be missed.

I must say that I have never paied so much whole-hearted attention before in the theatre.

CULTURAL CAPITOL
I had a synesthetic experience, his words creating the food I had requested, bringing back memories of childhood, and steeping me in a soft, nostalgic glow.

BISCANE TIMES
Both director Ana Margineanu and the actors who play Avery, June Raven Romero and Susie K. Taylor, succeed in flawlessly evoking a certain instantly recognizable kind of unfiltered fandom. But by the end of the evening, transformations have taken place. Higher beings have been channeled.

The plays (Miami Motel Stories) range in time period, plot, nuance, and genre, but they have one thing in common, North Beach history.

“Conjuring the King” immerses its audiences in joyful fun and as much Elvis trivia as a writer can gracefully pack into a script that isn’t actually about the object of its protagonist’s obsession. And that’s what makes the play memorable.

MIAMI ARTZINE
“Conjuring the King” is Juggerknot’s newest hit. Its director is Ana Margineanu, who nicely balances moments of levity with darker, more depth-filled instances. “Conjuring the King” is hardly similar to your average play or musical. It shines at every level.

THE JITNEY
The Blues Opera is a poignant, unforgettable theatrical experience. Miami has never seen anything quite like this. The Blues Opera really impresses in its willingness to vocalize and share the truth behind often taboo subjects.

NO PROSCENIUM
Miami Motel Stories, a series of immersive, site-specific productions, manages to beautifully explore the contradictions and tensions that define both the city’s history and present.

Words don’t convey just how well this show plays, from the writing, directing, set design, and of course acting.

If you are literally one of the lucky few who has the chance to see the site-specific performance, Hotel Project, immediately snap up your opportunity!

CULTURE VIEW
A captivatingly original way to use the now-ubiquitous online meeting platform to link one soul to another. This isn’t a virtual substitute for theater lovers. It’s a new kind of theatrical intimacy. Long Distance Affair, instead of shrinking the live experience onto the small screen, creates a virtual platform that expands the possibilities of theater.

MY ENTERTAINMENT WORLD
There is something intrinsically interesting about site-specific theatre because it removes fiction from the confines of a safe, controlled environment and forces it onto the street. I must applaud the cast of Broken City: Harlem.

NEW YORK THEATRE REVIEW
Imagine if you had four chances to play out a pivotal moment, hitting “Rewind” and starting again, with a different approach. Now imagine it all unfolds in a dreamscape. That’s something like how 4 Alice created/directed by Ana Margineanu, plays.

Theatre is often comfortable voyeurism - Long Distance Affair rejects this traditional role. You become as much a part of the narrative as the actor, making the experience surprisingly raw and unsettling, as your past life spills into the story, sharing it with a perfect stranger. Margineanu’s production is dangerous, thrilling and a fascinating piece of psychological theatre.

THREE WEEKS UK
Distance is no barrier to intimacy in this intense, immersive experience. Thirty actors from five continents have collaborated to create an innovative production in which each audience member is individually given three live performances to watch – and should they choose, participate in – over Skype.

FRINGE REVIEW UK
Edinburgh is often about breaking new ground, and The Female Role Model Project at Bedlam certainly does that. It can also, with such a complex show, be about things going horribly wrong. However, this team have nailed it; four actors, audience involvement, live video and soundscape and a visiting PhD student contributing the science all come together for something original, quirky, intelligent, evidence based and, ground breaking.

Si el teatro ya es de por sí tridimensional, esto es como el salto a una cuarta dimensión: aquí el espectador está incrustado dentro de la obra y se mueve libremente dentro de la enorme escenografía que es un hotel, en este caso, el lujoso hotel InterContinental.
