Little Shop of Horrors 2019

"With the closing lyrics from Simon Fest's Little Shop of Horrors imploring the world, “whatever you do don’t feed the plant,” perhaps a better way to sing it would be, “whatever you do, go see the plant” and all the talent surrounding the strange tale of Audrey II in the SimonFest Theatre Company production of Little Shop of Horrors."

- Lisa Larson, UTBA

The Dinner Party 2017

"Director Henry Ballesteros has done an excellent job of creating this world, placing his actors and letting them live the parts they portray.  Many comedies suffer from a sense that the action is contrived and “directed.”  Ballesteros has created a very natural style the comedy is greatly served by this structure. "

- Tony Porter UTBA
