the REVIEWS are in

“The songwriting Manson girl is Sadie Mae (Hannah Howzdy), and the melody almost lifts to heaven itself… The God-like image of Manson digs us in even deeper, and the unwavering devotion seen in the eyes and mannerisms of the actresses also puts a pause on reality… Howzdy’s pupils pierce with hate and jealousy on multiple occasions, and her steady performance shows us a streak of determined independence.” -Rich Monetti, Take 2 Indie Review, on and the heavens must have cried

"An extremely talented and mesmerizingly intense cast is directed by Lauren Shields. They eminently succeed in generating an unlikely combination of terror, paradox and humor...Wild-eyed Squeaky Fromme (Hannah Howzdy) and bumbling Sara Jane Moore (Leeanna Rubin) are extraordinarily well played." —Cliff Kasden, The Queens Courier, on Assassins at the Secret Theatre

“A beautifully played scene between Hannah Howzdy as a loopy Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme and Leeanna Rubin as unhinged Sara Jane Moore is another highlight, as the two women reminisce about their mutual acquaintance with Charles Manson, thought by Fromme to be the Messiah.” — Mark Lord, The Queens Chronicle, on Assassins at the Secret Theatre
