JESUS HOPPED THE A TRAIN - "There's too little theatre as fierce as this." (Sentinel)

“Metaphors hit like cold, hard day in Jesus Hopped the A Train, the combustive drama by Stephen Adly Guirgis, in a co-production of Empty Spaces Theatre Co. and the Warren Acting Company. . .There’s too little theater as fierce as this.” – Elizabeth Maupin, Orlando Sentinel

“Empty Spaces stakes out the high ground on Serious Theater in Orlando. Jesus Hopped The A Train is a meaty and complex drama, if a bit blunt. . . at its root “Jesus” reworks the classic Greek tragedies with a hero who gets kneecapped by the Gods.” – Charles Gauze, Ink19 Archikulture Digest

“Jesus Hopped The A Train” is a consistently gripping piece, both as a prison and courtroom drama, and also as it explores the way people grasp at religion as our last hope for coping in a life shattering situation -- though not always in ways recognizable by your neighborhood. ….There are a lot of moments in this play that are likely to haunt you long after the production is over.”  -Michael W. Freeman, Editor, The Reporter – The Ledger (10/08)

“Prisoners of Life…so clever is Guirgis’ dialogue that we get rolled up in the quickly paced action, leaving the unanswerable heavy stuff to linger in the mind: When is killing wrong?  When is killing right?. . .The ensemble cast members admirably anchor their well-cast characters. . .There are more than a few moments (like this) in the play – not knowing whether to laugh or cry at the inhumanity of humanity.  That’s the signature of director John DiDonna, who worked in collaboration with Seth Kubersky and Joel Warren to present the local premiere of the Guirgis sensation.” – Lindy T. Shepherd, Editor,  Orlando Weekly (10/16/08 issue)
