top to bottom
Little Caesar, Organic Theatre, Chicago
The Successful Life of 3, UAF, Fairbanks
Seduced, Cleveland Laboratory Theatre
A funhouse of effects, through which director Tom Riccio has guided his characters with a fanciful but strong and almost unerring hand.
Northern Ohio Live Magazine
Written by Romulus Linney and powerfully directed by Tom Riccio.
The Anchorage Times
The Playwright has directed them beautifully.
The Dallas Morning News
The slamming of a door, the glow of a cigarette, the regular beats of a jumping-jack exercise--all assume a sudden power that leaps from the darkness and silence surrounding them. Director Thomas Riccio has found the right tone and mood for Fornes' work.
The Chicago Tribune
Director T. Riccio avoided the potentials for cheap sentiment, worked around some weaknesses in the script, and produced a show that was intimate, touching, and entertaining.
The Cleveland Performer
The actors work well together in a technically polished production that reflects Tom Riccio's skillful directorial hand.
The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner
Thomas Riccio's appropriately chilling staging builds the hit-and-run black-out scenes into a convincing profile in terror, each slice a death sinking in like an uncompleted dirge.
Windy City Times
