“The Artistic Director, James Mellon, continues to bring top-notch productions to the NoHo Arts Center.”        ReviewPlays.com

“In the highly stylized role of Ned which alternates rage and grief with poignancy, the remarkable David H. Ferguson manages the rare feat of being completely believable


Chalk this up as another success for the Noho Arts Center!”

“Any play that includes Shakespeare and Queen Elizabeth on its roster is automatically ambitious.  At NoHo, that ambition is realized surprisingly well.”

Hollywood Reporter - Laurence Vittes


“It is a rare feat to step into a theatre and experience a new, innovative show that hasn’t been done before, but that is exactly what The NoHo Arts Center and Open At The Top Theatre Productions have delivered.  A little ho-ho-ho turns into a lot of fun-fun-fun at “Yo-Ho-Ho!”

“Positively splendid......a razzle-dazzle evening”

The Hollywood Reporter

“When Karesa McElheny decided to direct the huge work for the 99-seat NoHo Arts Center, it almost seemed like an act of hubris, yet she and her vital young cast have accomplished it, and accomplished it with considerable skill.  ...it is richly realized, with all its wit, complexity, and human profundity, as funny as it is moving.  It is long, but it’s fast-moving, funny and provocative. This production offers a rare opportunity -  and one that, due to the magnitude and difficulty of the production is not likely to come around often. So seize the day.”
