Borderlines
"Perfectly balanced bouffon clowning, with a touch of the romantical! I loved it. Full of spot on comic timing,... performed by a wonderfully playful ensemble with wide open minds. And the issue underneath struck my chords. Ridiculous, absurd, wrong and Poo Poo Sexy."
-Jon Ferguson, City Pages Best Director 2005

"Naughty, playful, dirty, and wrong, sweet, honest, and heartfelt, 3 Sticks proves that they are at the height of their game in this style of clowning. The performers grab hold with a fierce and fearless playfulness that shocks and delights from beginning to end, and the underlying theme hits close to home."
-Megan Odell, Artistic Director of Live Action Set

"If this play does not make you laugh, chuckle, snort, giggle, or guffaw, then you obviously did not see it. A combination of very real characters with those stuffed with pillows in bro-ssieres made this a wonderful show to witness."
-Claire Friedman

"Joyously talented performing artists - experimenting with their own talents, skills and beliefs about storytelling - and taking all of us in the audience on the journey. I laughed, I cried, I asked myself questions, I talked with the people around me - I was transported into the Borderline world and returned to my world a richer person. What an extraordinary company 3 Sticks is!
-Candace Barrett, Director of the Myth Center

"This show is wonderful. It is like nothing you've seen before, and may not again. Inventive, satirical, tender, ridiculous, and silly - all at the same time. I'm thrilled to see companies taking on issues of importance and presenting them in such a underused and difficult to achieve style of clown."
-Noah Bremmer, Artistic Director of Live Action Set

Mythed
"The movement-based production enchants with an abundance of fanciful theatricality and inspired lunacy, loaded with self-deprecating, tongue-in-cheek humor, physical comedy and a score of original pop ballads that frequently strays into parody."
-William Randal Beard, Star Tribune

"Simple theatre is often the best. Mythed is an example. Seven highly skilled actors use music, gentle ironic humor, a bit of spoken word (in Welsh and English), singing, and movement to tell an old Welsh story of magic, murder, and betrayal. The result is beautiful. I was entranced."
-Tim Voss

"Mythed is a wonderful piece of theater - music, song, dance and wonderful actors performing a script that is tight and excellent. Beware - the songs are so good the four of us who went found ourselves singing them two hours later."
-Kale Ganann

"With absolutely no set, save for an extremely versatile black cloth and a few well-placed leaves and flowers, this wonderfully gelled cast takes the audience on a magical journey where a pile of flowers can become a person, a forest can come to life, and a herd of Welsh Moose can dance. As soon as the actors come on stage there is an instant rapport. They weave humor and wonder throughout nearly every moment, and do it with an ease that should make older, more experienced companies shiver a little. This is a truly great show, and one that just about everyone can love."
-Derek Miller

"This piece of musical theatre was absolutely charming. It makes you want to say things like, "Golly! That was good!!" at the end. I was enchanted and highly entertained. "Mythed" is very lively, and very, very funny in a tongue-in-cheek kind of way. The music and movement were great and the ensemble was very strong. This show is tons of fun...but let me warn you, you might be singing about a girl who "...smells sweet when we rub noses..." for the rest of the night!!"
-Kristina Sherwood

A Midwinter Night's Dream
"I've never laughed so hard at a Shakespeare play."
-Rebecca Heatwole

"It's the way Shakespeare should be... easy, fun, and unpretentious."
