Nothing Up My Sleeve Reviews

MetroWeekly- Highly Recommended

"...Dendy's warmth is lovely and disarming, but one really wishes he'd do a bit more to frighten the horses and without that, the set feels rather like a promise not altogether kept. And this is where director Aaron Posner, always a master of mood, pacing, and all-around cleverness, has shown a lighter touch. Still, this is Dendy's story and if you love magic, you'll love the way he shows that there is far more to it than meets the eye."

MD Theatre Guide- Highly Recommended

"...By the final act, everyone is full of so much joy and a genuine sense of wonder that stays with them long after they step back into the real world."

BroadwayWorld- Recommended

"...You could sum it all up as hipster parlour magic, if you so wanted, all the way through to Jeannette Christensen’s costume design which sees the dandy-ish Dendy donning dusty, high-waisted trousers with old-timey waistcoats and silly bowties. To mark the passage of time, he slips in and out of different pairs of shoes, à la Mister Rogers."

K Street Magazine- Highly Recommended

"...Bethesda’s Round House Theatre is betting big on enchantment with the world premiere of Nothing Up My Sleeve: Simple Deceptions for Curious Humans. The theatrical magic show is an intimate, inventive evening that proves you don’t need smoke and mirrors to keep audiences spellbound."
