The Ten-Minute Musicals Project and STORIES 1.0

Gerald Nachman, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE:
“‘Stories 1.0’ and The Ten-Minute Musicals Project are enough to give one hope for the future of the American musical… It’s original, brazen, challenging and refreshing… The effort and resulting show might not save the Broadway musical, but it could forestall its demise… It’s fun seeing several miniatures all careening into each other, and a kick watching a tiny rep company play the many roles. They’re really on to something here…”

Peter Haugen, SACRAMENTO BEE:
“There’s a real freshness about “Stories 1.0” and it’s surprising how well everything ties together… Well-crafted musically, lyrically, and dramatically, it’s an innovative and entertaining idea that surely has a bright future.”

Murry Frymer, SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS:
“The birth and baby steps of what promises to grow into a terrific show… A truly rare and original idea in a field rife with copy-cat efforts.”

Scott Rosenberg, SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER
“A big part of the pleasure is following the transformations of actors through the evening, an immersion in the joys of pure repertory acting rarely seen anymore in the American theater… Ambitious, unusual and well worth pursuing, it’s a valuable institution in the making…”

Steve Warren, SAN FRANCISCO BAY GUARDIAN:
“It’s a musical and dramatic feast—with not a lemon in the bunch.”
