SHOTS: A LOVE STORY (2008 Production)
NAMED A TOP TEN PRODUCTION OF 2007 BY THE EAST VALLEY TRIBUNE!
"The opening salvo in Progressive Theatre Workshop's war on the same old stage fare was Shots: A Love Story, a surreal ode to alcoholism that was equal parts mesmerizing and suffocating."- Kerry Lengel, The Arizona Republic
"A summer surprise, actor John Caswell Jr's semi-autobiographical, highly experimental, scared-straight drama about the destructive force of alcoholism proved powerful without being didactic." -Chris Page, East Valley Tribune
SHOTS: A LOVE STORY is a performance piece examining the psyche of the addict through abstraction and autoethnography. The production received its world premier in August of 2007.
