Praise for While Chasing the Fantastic
Judd Hollander, The OFF-Off-Broadway Review
'Playwright Derek Ahonen's takes the subjects of terrorism, trust, infidelity and responsibility and uses them as the building blocks for his fascinating (and quite topical) While Chasing the Fantastic…'
'Powerful and brilliantly executed confrontation scenes.'
'Pilleci is wonderful as the angry Kent, who slowly transforms from little more than a tired old stereotype in act one to someone with pain, passion and pride in himself. So much so that in the climatic face off between him and Venus, one is not completely sure who to root for. Schall is excellent as Geneva, a woman in an unhappy marriage who comes alive when she sees Venus. The chemistry and sexual tension between the two is immediately evident and the two actors play these scenes with just the right air of wariness, need and desire.'
'David Levy-Horton's direction is quite strong throughout, with him having a firm grasp of the material, bringing out the best in the cast and the script.'
Charles Ferraro, President Gat5 Artists Collective
“Their work is relevant on so many levels. With While Chasing the Fantastic… The Amoralists create a world of murky grey layers, which reflect the melting pot called modern America and the illusion called the American dream. Like their name suggests they have created a work of no moral judgment. There is no celebration of the right or left, good or bad, this or that. Rather they have explored self-righteous individuals blinded by their own self-indulgent ideals. “

'Their style of production demands a response and leaves an indelible mark on the theatergoer's consciousness. It's a trip worth taking.'
