About Loading Dock Theatre
Read our profile in the New Yorker Magazine and The Gothamist.
“Ingenious and punishing…a magnificent example of what Off Off Broadway can do.“
The NY Times on SPACEMAN
“Intense and finally frightening play by Leegrid Stevens, directed by Jacob Titus.”
The New Yorker on SPACEMAN
“You gotta see Erin Treadway. As an Iraq War vet, mother and wife with PTSD (or nanobots?) she rips her hammering heart out and leaps on it like an IED.”
David Cote
“I would heartily recommend War Dreamer at the Wild Project…It sneaks up on you. It grinds slowly, but those scenes after intermission FLATTENED me.”
Helen Shaw
“[Act II] is when Stevens’ script starts blazing….the impressive electronic score (also by Stevens) pulses with anxiety and danger…in the central performance Treadway is omnipotent.”
Broadway Blog
“If there is a silver lining to real-world tragedy, it is that the memory of it might one day serve as grist for art. In writing this richly dark and rending drama, Leegrid Stevens drew on a painful chapter of his own family story weight.”
The New Yorker on A PEREGRINE FALLS
“Heartbreaking…nothing short of spectacular…The ingenuity of playwright Leegrid Stevens cannot be emphasized enough.”
Stage Buddy on THE TWELFTH LABOR
“something truly innovative … with stunning visual effects.”
