The Middle of the Night

With its isolated farmhouse and unseen menace, The Middle of the Night may look like a conventional thriller, but playwright Lowell Bartholomee refuses to play by the rules, creating an offbeat drama that keeps us perpetually off-balance by playing against our expectations.

"...in subtle flashes how he's under his child's thumb. Judson Jones loses himself in fear, his constant shiver, darting..."

Oct. 24, 2003 Arts Review by Robert Faires

Hedda

In the dirigo group production Hedda, director Laura Somers reimagines Henrik Ibsen's classic as a perverse and sometimes brilliant Doris Day / Rock Hudson flick, coupling late 1950s zip -- party dresses and sweater vests, manhattans and vodka martinis, breezy entrances and exits -- with a forbidden sexuality that ratchets the tensions of Ibsen's play to a whole new level.

"...Ray-Bans on a drifting black-clad figure from the past. Judson Jones' spare set captures the feel of opening credits..."

Bash

In Bash, a collection of monologues by Neil LaBute, the protagonists appear to be considerate, decent people, but in the stories they share they prove themselves capable of committing crimes straight out of Greek tragedy, and the dirigo group production achieves a breezy intimacy with the audience, engaging us so thoroughly that when the darkness falls, we find it hard to abandon them.

"...If you didn't know that this was Judson Jones' first time directing, you might not be able..."

Dec. 6, 2002 Arts Review by Robert Faires

'Bash' in Your Head

Although best known for films such as In the Company of Men and Your Friends and Neighbors, LaBute began as a playwright, and Austin is about to get its first look at one of his plays, the disturbing Bash, courtesy of the dirigo group.

Blah, Blah, Blah

In the 14 sketches that make up Blah, Blah, Blah, playwright Lowell Bartholomee skewers Hollywood with situations and dialogue that are clever and perceptive, but the actors seem to be working to put it across, straining even, when it really doesn't need the hard sell.

"...Neck Up," with Douglas Taylor as the producer and Judson L. Jones as the psycho employee, and one titled..."

True West

The dirigo group production of Sam Shepard's True West sees Corey Gagne and Judson L. Jones swapping the roles of petty criminal Lee and screenwriter Austin every other night. While both are exceptional actors, offering plenty of sharp character work, both versions bring that pervading sense of threat that gives the show the violent inevitability of Greek tragedy.

"...switcheroo: Corey Gagne began the run playing Lee to Judson L. Jones' Austin. They've since swapped roles and now..."
