Harrowing Depiction Of Evil: An Evening With John Wayne Gacy
You may find this hard to believe, but An Evening With John Wayne Gacy Jr., — easily the most off-putting title for a theater piece in many years – is a surprisingly effective, harrowing and highly stylistic depiction of homicidal madness in Ronnie Larsen’s play at Infinite Abyss.
Kidnapper And Quarry Dance In Infinite Abyss’ The Collector
Poking around dark mentalities syncs with Infinite Abyss Productions’ gleeful affection for works about people on the edges of society. But its run of The Collector, while among its strongest work, is a mixed bag artistically.
Infinite Abyss’ Brave Attempt To Wield Quills Isn’t Sharp Enough
Infinite Abyss, which has produced some solid work like last season’s Extremities, just falls flat this time out with Quills which reeks of amateurism.
Son At Island City Stage Deserves To Be Embraced
Just about two years after Island City Stage premiered Michael McKeever’s Daniel’s Husband and it currently playing off Broadway, Island City Stage takes on another world premiere play that has the makings of what could be a successful regional theater offering.
Off-Beat ‘Love And Human Remains’ Fails In Its Ambition

Harrowing Sexual Assault Opens Infinite Abyss’ Flawed But Troubling Extremities
Infinite Abyss’ courageous production of Extremities opens with one of the most harrowing 15 minutes in theater and ends with a troubling finale. But the challenge is the play in between, an examination of the extent human beings will go for justifiable revenge and the toll that the pursuit wreaks on our humanity.
Uneven But Unsettling “Bug:” This Is How The World Ends — With A Bang And A Whimper
Evening Star and Infinite Abyss co-produce Tracy Letts’ surreal depiction of spiraling paranoia complete with copious amount of blood in an edition that slogs too slowly too long but ratchets up into an emotional and psychological fireball of horror.
Infinite Abyss Snow White Trash Starts Funny, Then Drifts
The first 15 minutes of Infinite Abyss’ Snow White Trash is a delightfully zany spoof that imaginatively reinterprets the fairy tale as a crass, royal blue hoot in which Disney’s sweet but dimwitted heroine takes refuge with the mullet-headed Dwarf Family living in a trailer park. Unfortunately, after that, there’s another 50 minutes left.
