“the spectacles devised by chicago’s redmoon theater are renowned for the way they capture the imagination of both adults and kids... the company’s creative team simply remains true to its wholly lunatic aesthetic and hypnotizes its audience with its commitment.”

- Hedy Weiss, Chicago Sun-Times

“ Those who say theater is a dying art have never seen a redmoon show.” - Nick Green, Chicago Reader
