More Buzz for Space Captain!

In addition to our fantastic review in Backstage, Space Captain: Captain of Space has been getting some great reviews and press from Theatrical publications far and wide.

Best Friend Cate sent me a text the other day to inform me that she was flipping through an issue of Time Out New York and saw our show featured in that week's "Best Bets" section.

Last night as we warmed up, Lindsey discovered that our show was the lead story on NYTheatre.com's homepage. (Which as of right now, we still are) And the reviews we've gotten have been pretty awesome. Here are a few quotes:

"Non-stop fun...original, well-crafted silliness..." -Flavorpill (Editor's Pick)

"Effing awesome..." -Cultural Capitol

"Non-stop entertainment from beginning to end..." -NYTheatre.com

And the show was also featured on the "Go See a Show" podcast, which came to do an interview with Jeff and Lindsey after our opening performance. You can listen to the podcast here.

In the meantime there are only four performances left, including tonight. So if you haven't gotten your tickets yet, you might want to buy them in advance. 

See you tonight!

Or Thursday September 13th!
Or Friday September 14th!
Or Saturday September 15th!

Space Captain in Backstage!!!

Welcome to the biggest moment in my career to date. Because my name is on Backstage.

Space Captain: Captain of Space has been getting a lot of buzz. Both Lindsey and Jeff have been interviewed by NYTheatre.com in anticipation of our opening weekend, and there was even a write-up in The Villager.

But our opening weekend has come and gone, and it's time for the reviews to start showing up. And the first review is from the one, the only Backstage Magazine.

And it's good. It's really good.

And the end of it says this:

"The evenings purest laughs come from the lively cast. Michele McNally is particularly hilarious as Astra, King Xayno's moody daughter."

So that's getting printed out and framed and hung on my wall next to my bed where I'll be able to see it every day as soon as I wake up.

This show is such an incredible piece to be involved in, and I've known that since before we even started rehearsals, but to have that feeling confirmed by Backstage-- the Go-To publication that everyone grabs when they decide to go into acting-- is a very surreal experience for me. I mean I used to have stacks and stacks of newspapers all around my apartment. I would cut out the covers out and put them on my wall.

This morning the review was part of Backstage Espresso, the email newsletter that sends out highlights and featured stories from Backstage. Yeah, we're FEATURED.

Backstage Magazine emailed me a review of my own show. Weird. And Awesome. 

There are still five chances to go and see this amazing show. We have performances on Thursday and Friday nights, at 8pm, and also next Thursday through Saturday, also at 8.

For the last few years I've been amazed that such a group of talented people could have flown under the radar for so long. With this incredibly ambitious show, I'm not surprised that Space Captain is getting so much attention. I'm so glad that this show is eye-catching enough that No Tea is starting to get the notariety it deserves.

As more reviews start to surface, I'm sure they'll be positive. The only way I could imagine anyone not liking this show is if they are a complete and utter asshole.

You hear that reviewers? If you didn't like it, you are clearly an asshole.

READ THAT SHIT!
