"Bloechl’s animated humor and facial expressions as Aminta (the Captain’s mistress) keeps the audience rooting for her even when the rest of the crew is pondering the best way to eat her. Her physical humor subtly highlights the bawdy sex jokes sprinkled throughout the script without trying too hard to get the laugh." - Theatre Bloom

The Servant of Two Masters
"A comedic masterpiece" - Broad Street Review
"Most striking of all is the glorious physical hyperbole of his cast. Every actor - no exceptions - brings a signature strut, carriage, flounce, and stance to his role that conveys more meaning than anything the character actually says or does. It is almost like watching a comic ballet." - DC Metro Theatre Arts
