ANTIGONICK (2021)
“Putting any naked body onstage is an act of defiance in our increasingly repressed age. But putting naked trans bodies onstage, as Torn Out has done here, feels downright revolutionary. With so many state legislatures taking aim at transgender Americans, it's hard not to feel Antigone's spirit of resistance coursing through this production.”
The Rover (2018)
“Under the direction of Artistic Director Pitr Strait, the play is staged wonderfully and utilizes the massive outdoor space and its architecture to great advantage, giving the talented and energetic cast plenty of space and its architecture to great advantage, giving the talented and energetic cast plenty of space, over the course of the show.”
“Yes, we are trying to get people’s attention. But it’s not a gimmick. That implies dazzle with nothing behind it. There’s a mission here.”
"Director Pitr Strait shares some details: 'Our past shows have aimed to use nudity in non-sexual contexts, but The Rover is a play about sexual freedom and romantic relationships. Our production will still show nudity in non-sexual ways,' [she] adds, 'with an exploration of the way that we do sexualize each others’ bodies.'”

"We're all different, we don't all look like normally pretty, or normally good looking, we don't all have six-packs. We're normal people. I want someone in the audience to see themselves, I don't want them to feel alone."
THE TEMPEST (2016)
"...an artful mix of nudity, nature, freedom and artistic expressionism—so much so that the mere fact that the actors were nude faded into the background after a few minutes."
