CRITICAL FEEDBACK ON THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY

"Creative License has managed something astonishing: attracting an audience of hip young people that would be the envy of any theater company in the region. There were more beards, full-sleeve tattoos and knit caps in Friday's nearly sold-out crowd than I have ever seen attending a play locally — except at earlier Creative License productions. There's a genuine alchemy going on here that involves the Albany Barn's visitors and residents, Creative License's choices in edgy contemporary material, smart marketing on social media and more. As a middle-aged person who sometimes feels he's among the youngest in any given theater audience, it's deeply encouraging to see."
-Steve Barnes, Times Union

"A contemporary Dorian Gray that maintains the classic Wildean values"
"I highly recommend you see this one before it’s gone – this is a treat you deserve."
-Amy Durant, The Alt

"Dorian Gray [is a] a rip-roaring production"
"This vivid production should satisfy audiences of any age."
-Paul Lamar, Daily Gazette

Written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (based on the novel by Oscar Wilde) and Directed by Aaron Holbritter, The Picture of Dorian Gray follos a preternaturally handsome Dorian Gray, who has his protrait painted by his collage classmate, the on-the-rise Basil Hallwood. When their mutual friend Harry Wotton offers to include it in a show, Dorian makes a faithful wish-that his portrait should grow old instead of him-and strikes an unspeakable bardain with the Devil. So begins Dorian’s steady decline into a life of depravity, following a twisted path that will lead him towards sexual deviance, violence, and much, much worse.

This show was presented with the help of a grant from the Decentralization Program, a regrant program of the NYS Council of the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the NYC Legislature & administered by The Arts Center of the Capital Region.

CRITICAL FEEDBACK ON ROW AFTER ROW

" There are so many things you’ll leave mulling over, and it says a lot about the production that that’s just one of the many reasons why it succeeds "
                                                                                  -Amy Durant, The Alt

" …the core of the production, directed by Creative License regular Ben Katagiri and co-starring three of its most familiar faces, has the quality acting and distinctive spirit that are hallmarks of the company.”
                                                                                  -Steve Barnes, Albany Times Union
