Touch

 

This a smart and moving piece of theater and director Thomas Riccio plays towards the work’s strengths and audience’s intelligence. He guide the performers to underplaying a potentially melodramatic situation, and he keeps the stage free of unnecessary props or busy sets.

Yahoo Nation

 

Riccio has put together a fine cast and has staged the show to be a multimedia presentation with audience participation. …In his director’s notes Riccio says “Yahoo Nation” is a big topic to wrestle, just like our beloved country. I would add that “Yahoo Nation” is also smart, occasionally uneven, a little full of itself and worth the price of admission

Seventy Scenes Of Halloween

 

As the scenes progress (there are literally 70 scenes in this play) Jeff and Joan, you basic, average, ordinary married couple, delve more and more deeply into the subconscious shadow selves. The couple hidden feeling, fears and frustrations come to life in the form of stereotypical monsters, ghosts, and withes of a Halloween night…Director Thomas Riccio skillfully walks the line between mayhem and order in the unusual piece.

The Magic Flute, Mozart (The Full Opera)

 

Director Thomas Riccio has excelled in bringing Mozart’s opera “The Magic Flute,” to the Salisbury stage. A testament to the pageantry and glory of Mozart’s work, Riccio’s pick is a confirmation of the strength and mettle forged by the human sprit while under fire.

Marat/Sade

 

Thomas Riccio has signaled what we can expect from UAF shows he directs: well-rehearsed casts, challenging scripts, no concession to provincialism and no holds barred. He and his production deserve our support. “Marat/Sade” is a knockout experience.

Curse Of The Starving Class

 

Riccio has the artistic integrity not to try to explain the script. Instead, he provides visualizations that challenge us to make connections between the playwright’s language and our lives…if this production indicates what’s to come, Riccio will bring a daring and unconventional flair to Fairbanks.
