The New York Times:
The new “West Side Story” begins with nothingness: a huge black brick
wall rising behind a cavernous blank stage. A group of young people
enter, walking slowly, surveying the territory. They form a line at the
lip of the stage and stare at the audience.
Performing Arts Feature | Chicago Reader:
It could have been Lord of the Flies. Filament Theatre was giving over
complete control of its space to a young audience for Forts! Build Your
Own Adventure, an hour-long experiment in professionally designed
creative play. Arming kids with boxes piled high to the ceiling,
pillows, sheets, clothespins and flashlights—what could go wrong?
Absolutely nothing. Hundreds of performances, and perhaps thousands of
forts later, Filament has proven the value of trusting its young people
with agency and influence in the world of its performances.
