"The Exonerated is essentially indescribable. You need to see it."

- Ann Bennett, Santa Cruz Sentinel


"every once in a while, in a rare evening of pure magic, a play can whack you over the head so hard that you stagger out of the theater in a state of shock, unable to reconcile the beauty of a splendid production with the stark vision of its story, the play's words and images swirling in your mind for days afterward."

"Once again Pisces Moon productions has taken on a deep and complex play and made a success of it in every way. Six real people who were freed from death row because they were proven innocent tell their stories, and we get to think about that. The tragedy, the concept of revenge, our entire criminal system is all there, on stage. Don't miss it." Read more - Bruce Bratton, BrattonOnline.com

"The Exonerated bears the trademarks of a Pisces Moon winner: an edgy script, finely tuned acting, an artistic but minimal backdrop and the skills of a director who continues to be strong in her game. The entire cast deserves the applause it received when the play opened last weekend. There’s not a weak link among them...This play takes a heavy look at wrongful convictions, the death penalty, forgiveness and faith." Read more - Christa Martin, The Good Times Weekly

Reviews of our previous production
The Last Days of Judas Iscariot
Left to right: Luciana Fuller as Mary Magdalene, LaJoi Whitten as St. Monica

"A spectacular extravaganza of theatre that will give you something to talk about over dinner for quite a while. . . It's a parable of love and forgiveness, all dolled up in extraordinarily clever sequences that range from hilariously funny to outragesously ridiculous to thoughtfully poignant . . . great script by a contemporary playwright . . . outstanding visual experiences . . . directed with splendid timing and control . . . it soars and dips like a rollercoaster . . . 13 talented actors whose combined skills bring the show to life with exuberance and outstanding insightfulness. . . Don't wait to order tickets; this exciting and intriguing show will sell out fast" Read more . . . - Ann Bennett, The Santa Cruz Sentinel

"moments by Beckett, dialogue by Mamet and street talk by Spike Lee" Read more . . . - Bruce Bratton, BrattonOnline

". . . it's ultimately a conversation about forgiveness, done so with the type of smarts and style that only Pisces Moon can pull off." Read more . . . - Christa Martin (Preview), The Good Times Weekly

"The Last Days of Judas Iscariot shows that everyone deserves a second chance." Read more . . . - Justine DaCosta, The Santa Cruz Sentinel

"Conversations about Judas Iscariot and forgiveness ignite the Pisces Moon stage." Read more . . . - Christa Martin (Review), The Good Times Weekly
