GOLDFISH

Goldfish is a beautiful metaphor of a play. The story of a child growing up and leaving home is well worn enough, but the depth and compassion of the writing burns throughout the seemingly ordinary story about the constantly conflicting emotions of parenthood, love and life. Dean Farell Bruggemans masterfully restrained and almost zen like direction serves to build the tension between the small cast of actors who skillfully deliver the brilliant, funny and insightful dialogue. ... full review

Great story between a Father who won't grow up and a Son who can't wait to take charge of their own life. Each character goes from villian to hero and back again, within the hour long show. ... full review

This was a well written, stellar piece of theater. It lulled me into it's rhythmic dreamworld with the even words of John Kolvenbach. The ensemble and direction were impeccable.... full review

Goldfish was the best theater I've seen in LA in years. Well directed and the writing was exquisite and the actors were exceptional. Every performance hit the mark and went beyond. I left the theater delighted and hope many people see this play. It should win an award. ... full review
