The reviews are coming in and Sound Theatre Company’s “A Small Fire” is gripping audiences.
“The cast is sublime…Julie Beckman has assembled and staged a fine cast with some nicely innovative set elements from Montana Tippett which fit beautifully in such an intimate space. Beckman really conveys the tragedy and helplessness of the situation to the audience…[Lazzara’s] journey into complete isolation is a striking thing to behold…Sara Coates brings in some stunning moments as Emily’s daughter Jenny”
-Jay Irwin, Broadway World
“Teri Lazzara is a spellbinding Emily…One of the wonders of this production is the manner in which
they’ve used the small stage. Set designer Montana Tippett has created five totally different sets ranging from construction site to wedding reception, from indoors to outdoors. They are amazing and effective transformations.”
-Nancy Worssam, Arts Stage Seattle Rage
“Lazzara makes Emily entertaining as hell…unexpected laughs amid the pathos…
the cast keeps the play from drowning in despair”
– Jenna Nand, The Seattle Weekly
“Lazzara manages to pull her audience in and keep them focused on her with just blank stares and hand squeezes…[Gordon] Carpenter also gives an outstanding performance … his portrayal is honest, sincere, and endearing…Julie Beckman manages to maintain the right balance between lightness and gravity, and she keeps the pace clipping along”
– Scott Taylor, Seattle Stage Revue

“[Ray] Tagavilla has a way of turning himself inside out, of revealing messy emotions with dignity and control… he brings something that feels entirely, almost alarmingly, real.”
– Brendan Kiley, The Stranger
“The production itself was a testament to the outstanding talents of the actors, the director, Julie Beckman and especially the set designer, Montana Tippett”
-Marie Bonfils, Drama in the Hood
