FINAL 2 WEEKS:
Wild Horses
Bajou runs a storyteller’s gamut in her animated recollections ... the actress occupies all corners of the stage with a disarming energy; offering up a variety of voice characterizations, while maintaining a sense that this breakneck ramble through suburban bedrooms and dusty fields is going someplace fast. And you can bet that the last jukebox quarter that those wild horses of the title figure into the action - Asbury Park Press
Charming and Compelling ... Estelle Bajou is outstanding - Broadway World
A tour de force performance - Two River Times
Touching and honest and presented with love and understanding affection - Out in Jersey
Estelle Bajou is particularly effective ... Director Barabas has a knowing way with female actors and characters. Gregory’s play is fragile - it is handled with care - Scene On Stage
Wild Horses is a great evening of theater, telling a tale of adolescence at once particular and universal - The Link News
WHEN: Thursday, Friday at 7:45; Saturday at 2:45 and 7:45; Sunday at 1:45 now thru March 25.

Life On My Knees
by William Missouri Downs

WHERE: NEW JERSEY REPERTORY COMPANY, 179 Broadway, Long Branch
A PhD in English lit isn't worth much—just ask Dr. Helen Hand. Desperate for a job, she drunkenly agrees to teach at a conservative bible college in the-middle-of-nowhere Kansas. The problem—she's a skeptic, a liberal and gluten intolerant. She enters a world of rigid moral rules: no smoking, no alcohol, no doubting. Working undercover she sets out to enlighten the fundamentalist students, but it quickly goes to hell. This small cast comedy looks at our need for faith and reason.
