Great direction, Masterful, Must see, Great writing, Great acting

See it if Almost flawless. Not much more can be said about a great production of a classic play. Alison Wick appears to be a rising young talent

Don't see it if the climb to the inaccessible Access theater will leave you hospitalized. (Just kidding, there is a freight elevator behind the building)

Thought-provoking, Absorbing, Riveting, Great writing

See it if You want to know what The Crucible is about. This was a strong production although it started a bit slow. Intimate theatre. Commuted acting

Don't see it if You can’t climb 4 steep flights or sit through almost 3 hours. You don’t like small theaters. Or plays about Salem witch trials.

Profound, Intense, Epic, Great acting, Great writing

See it if You are in awe of Arthur Miller. You like a good scare.

Don't see it if TBH, I did think it was a little weird that the main characters were almost all men in a show about witches.

Hair-raising, Timely, Beautifully played, Powerfully staged, Brilliantly constructed

See it if you’d like to see a top-notch, bare-bones production of 1 of the great plays of the mid-20th century—& it still has the power to shake us!

Don't see it if you require a lush production: Hunger Theater works wonders on a shoestring budget. Read more

"This often spellbinding and emotional HUNGER THEATER production showcased a surprisingly phenomenal cast of talented actors, including experienced and novice talent of all ages...An enormously entertaining and a most provocative production. What began as a mere spark in the dark concluded with a glistening tear of truth. I left feeling that within ourselves, we grasp the power of the conclusive verdict of a controversial subject."
