FEED YOUR HEAD CAFE: weekend 2 comments

The second weekend for Feed Your Head Cafe was great. The reviews from opening weekend came pouring in. The critics had great things to say. There is one weekend left, so don't miss your last chance to see a truely amazing performance!

This week's feature guest artist was Karla Boos of Quantum Theatre. The featured queen was Marsha Mellow. They were amazing. Don't forget, there is a different featured guest artist and featured queen each weekend.

Here is what this weekend's audience thought:


I was really uncertain of what to expect, but when I got it in and saw the setting, I was really surprised and couldn’t tell what was about to happen next, but we were having a fun time trying to figure out who was what character and see if there was any symbolism taking place. Justin Chesarek, Student, Slippery Rock



I like the idea of alternate realities. . . The lighting, costumes, and props were all amazing – so eerie. Veronica Osbourne and Elaine Foley, Students, Oakland



My impression of the whole piece was realizing one’s mortality and what could have been: regrets, and loves and losses… The three person waltz was just unbelievable. I was just thinking that… in modern dance, when you have something with surreal, random, and abstract elements, for it also to have so much heart and healing in it -- that’s so often the missing element. I just think to be able to bring those things together is phenomenal. Jeff Nytch, Musician/Composer/Conductor, Northside


I think the thing that struck me most about it was just the way that all of the dancers moved around the theater. They were in front of you ...I felt like I was there on the floor ...but not just that: moving around in the balconies and the different catwalks, I thought that was pretty cool. Jessica, Web Designer, South Hills


I remember all the different things that Alice fell in love with, as she went down the rabbit hole.
Heather, Freelancer, East Liberty


I think the space was great, and what it allowed the theater group to do. What can I say? The props, lighting, even the tables suspended from the ceiling – I liked that a lot. Adele, DJ, South Hills



I thought the staging was beautiful. I thought the performers were really top-notch; I liked the way they put their own expression into the theme. It was really, really beautiful. Renee, Photo Journalist, Southside
