Reviews of Kodachrome

I took this directly from Portland Center Stage's blog--  https://www.pcs.org/blog/reviews-of-kodachrome










Living Photo Album of Romantic Vignettes"Kodachrome is somewhere between an ensemble love story, a mischievous comedy and a supernatural dream." -Willamette Week



Love's Blurred Lines"The fine cast of Kodachrome makes quick, punchy work of the play's rapid-fire scene changes under Riordan's usual sharp direction."   –The Oregonian

A Photographic Journey of Being Human"It's tender and poignant and awkward and funny all at the same time - you know, just like life."  BroadwayWorld

A Play About Love
"This is a beautiful play – understated, tricky, often humorous, and universal. ... Everyone in this show delivers wonderful performances."  Judy Nedry Reviews

Love, Living and Loss
"This story harkens back to a time and place in our Pasts and gives us a glimpse of the make-up of people stripped of all the trappings of an electronic world ... And the performances were top-notch."  Dennis Sparks Reviews

"Kodachrome captures the nostalgic pull of photography ... the play intermixes moments of gut-wrenching sadness with lighthearted humor, all while forcing the audience to pause and confront each emotion with the click of a shutter." - Portland Mercury









What people are saying on Facebook:

“Fun, enjoyable, thought provoking all in one.”

“Whimsical, funny, and then suddenly so moving.”

“Excellent play! I loved it!” 

"I felt so many different emotions during the play and loved having a Q&A with the cast after. Wonderful."

"Funny, smart, and touching."

"Excellent production. Very moving."


Don't miss Kodachrome.
Running February 3 to March 18 in the Ellyn Bye Studio.

Interview of Andrew Hinderaker about Magic Play






I know I haven't done an interview in a long time.  I talked to playwright Andrew Hinderaker for Portland Center Stage (where both our plays are being done right now).  link below.  Check it out--  also I interviewed Andrew once before -- in 2010.  Read it here.
