The Voices in Your Head
“Recommended! … The cast of nine players, synced to precision realism by director Ryan Dobrin, reveal themselves as a grab-bag of strange and strained New Yorkers” - Jackson McHenry, review for Vulture
“Swift and subtle direction” - Nolan Boggess, review for Theatrely
“Gleefully directed by Ryan Dobrin, The Voices in Your Head is as smart as it is hilarious” - Mark Rifkin, review for This Week in New York
“If you need a morsel of sweet weirdness, acted by top-shelf Off-Off megastars, try The Voices in Your Head … Warm, witty, bonkers” - Helen Shaw (writer for The New Yorker)
“Director Ryan Dobrin does wonders" - Tony Marinelli, review for Theatre Scene
“… in one of director Ryan Dobrin’s many brilliant little touches…” - Joey Sims, review for No Proscenium
“Ryan Dobrin directs a wickedly hilarious 60 minute piece with an incredible cast … that I will be thinking about for years to come … Excited for the future of this one” - Kobi Kassal (Editor-in-Chief of Theatrely)
“At an hour, it has the feel of a small scale EdFringe show that does just enough to send you back out into the streets with a smile on your face and some characters to process. And if you need some morbid laughs you will find your community in this darkly droll wee play.” - Nicole Serratore, review for Exeunt
Support group members gather to share a bizarre bond. Over an hour-long meeting, eight New Yorkers of varying backgrounds exchange stories, escape the ridicule of the outside world, and build an oasis, even as individual needs test its stability. Staged for an audience of just 20 each night at a cozy, storefront church, The Voices in Your Head offered an intimate, singular experience, and a haven for weird joy.
