Company: Eye of Jupiter Theatre
Show: The Greenhouse
Venue: The Southern Theater

Best show I've seen all year

I was floored by every element of Eye of Jupiter Theatre's "The Greenhouse." KT Schearer's writing and direction is just as inspired and compelling as her debut, "Ocean on Fire," while still exploring the familiar thread of how we form community amid environmental collapse in new and moving ways. I'm always impressed by her ability to balance humor, strangeness, and profound and original metaphor. All of the performances were outstanding. I could not look away from Alex Thornton and LJ Johnson's dynamic turn as the twins Ant and Squab especially, their comedic timing was beat perfect and always surprising. The production design, choreography, and musical elements worked together really well here too -- in the gorgeous space at the Southern Theatre, you feel transported to the world of this show. I can't wait to see Eye of Jupiter's next production, Schearer and this cast and crew are definitely ones to watch!
