THE SUPERHEROINE MONOLOGUES:

A Parody of Super Proportions

The Boston Globe

“‘The Superheroine Monologues’ is subtitled ‘a parody of super proportions,’ but it's the sincerity with which it's delivered that gives it super power.”

Boston Herald

”deliciously campy and lovingly produced... a treat to behold... some of the coolest costumes to ever cross a boston stage.”

Boston Metro

“filled with silliness, laughter and great wit... a supremely talented ensemble”

The Hub Review

“a purrr-fectly fetching and talented cast... a potential franchise has just been born.”

SFScope

"the most refreshing and humorous take on superwomen's issues that has ever been done on stage... the audience cannot fail to have a good time”

Edge Boston

“a pioneering work in the league of ‘Three Faces of Eve’...insightful socio-commentary...gloriously eye catching”

Boston Herald

“as much about complex characters as it is about wardrobes... superheroism for the 'Watchmen' generation”
