Absorbing, Edgy, Dizzying, Intense

See it if great concept, great to do this in a small space. don't usually like one person shows, but this was a great new quasi-nerdy take on the form

Don't see it if you expect broadway level production values. actually a little cheesy in the effects dept. it is also loud and bright, so you be prepared.

Ambitious, Intense, Great staging, Great acting, Unique

See it if you like unique stagings, fantastic sets &/or great acting. You’re up for a lone woman's convincing step-by-step descent into madness.

Don't see it if bright lights/loud sounds/strobe effects towards the end would ruin the show for you (sit in back w/earplugs if so). Avoid if epileptic!! Read more

Great acting, Great staging, Intense

See it if you like sci-fi, or would like to experience a solo astronaut on a long mission, or have the imagine to go on the wild ride with them.

Don't see it if you have a bad reaction to LOUD, jarring, noises, bright flashing lights, or to strobe effects, or psychological thrillers. Read more

Ambitious, Epic, Great staging, Intense

See it if You enjoy strong one-person shows. You’re interested in varieties of scifi. You like clever staging that creates new environments

Don't see it if You find intense sound/lighting (ie loud, high pitched sounds, flashing lights) uncomfortable. You want a play that has distilled its msg

Spot-on production, Spectacular, small-scale design, Sporadically spooky, Spreads itself thin towards the the end

See it if you'd like to see epically ambitious creativity on a tiny budget.

Don't see it if you'll ding the show too much for having too many climaxes once it makes clear where the show is going.

For a previous production

"Treadway masterfully holds us for over 90-minutes of an intense endurance event of a performance. In addition to verbal stamina, she also subtly simulates an untethered body within Mraz's suspended, floorless metal ship...Explores the related zeal of scientific progress and religious faith...'Spaceman's' intensely vivid spectacle renders how life aboard a spaceship, without the possibility of return, is extraordinarily different from the Blue Planet grind."
