The T Party at Silver Spring Black Box Theater

Washington Post - Recommended

"...Not every scene packs equal punch. One set in a Dupont Circle club imagined as a many-gendered animal sanctuary doesn't quite jell, and a rendition of "One" from "A Chorus Line" lacks pizzazz. But the show, first presented by Forum as a workshop in 2013, is strong enough in its current form to absorb flaws and fully engage an audience."

DC Theater Arts - Highly Recommended

"...Just so we’re clear: Natsu Onoda Power’s new devised performance piece is neither an homage to Ted Cruz nor a biography of Michelle Bachmann. In fact, as mentioned in one of several deliciously self referencing moments in The T Party, the show was already well on its way to completion by the time old white people started donning tri-corner hats and demanding to see the president’s birth certificate."

"...Written and directed by Natsu Onoda Power, “The T Party” has been in development since 2008. It was workshopped at Forum with a short run in the summer of 2013. Now the almost two-hour play is back at the Silver Spring Black Box Theater as a premiere production."

"...Power’s direction is sharp and vibrant. As she was behind the eye-popping local productions of A Trip to the Moon and Astro Boy and the God of Comics, it’s visually arresting with inventive use of overhead projections by Alex Leidy and G. Ryan Smith."

The T Party, Natsu Onoda Power’s sweetly transgressive skewering of gender identity, presented in its latest incarnation at Forum Theater, lives that principle more than any show I’ve seen in recent memory. Its chock full of heart, humanity, insight delivered with good humor.

Magic Time - Highly Recommended

"...Whenever high entertainment value and authentic content converge in theater is reason to cheer. This show has done that to a T. The T Party is a hoot with heft, a gas with gravitas, and it's seriously silly."
