Candle House Collective's play "Claws" offers a unique interactive experience where the audience engages via phone with an actor portraying a customer service representative. The narrative revolves around a deception involving a monster in a closet. While innovative and entertaining, the overall tension lacks seriousness, suggesting room for improvement in storytelling.
Big Live’s adaptation of Dracula, directed and choreographed by Joel Burke, is a visually captivating but flawed ballet. The production highlights the relationship between Dracula, Mina, and Jonathan Harker, but suffers from pre-recorded music and inconsistent lighting. Abbey Hansen's performance as Mina stands out, yet the adaptation's limited focus leaves much to be desired.
