Paper Dolls Reviews
DC Theater Arts- Highly Recommended
"...Overall, the most surprising aspect of Paper Dolls was the feeling that hit me when I arrived home, kicked off my shoes, and realized that I’d never seen anything like that before. That aha moment instantly triggered an encore performance of the play in my mind. As I delved back inside the story, it’s themes, symbolism, and universality took hold of my senses with deeper resonance."
MetroWeekly- Highly Recommended
"...Philip Himberg’s Paper Dolls illuminates a unique immigrant experience with humor and empathy. The play with music is based on a 2006 documentary about five transgender Filipinos living in Israel, who care for elderly Orthodox Jewish men by day and perform as a drag troupe by night."

"...Under the excellent direction of Mark Brokaw, the serious socioeconomic themes are balanced and tempered by moments of genuine levity and humor. J.M. Rebudal’s choreography shines against James Kronzer’s muted scenery, further emphasizing the interplay between two different worlds."
