REVIEWS

A woman with dark brown hair rises like a vampire from a coffin lined in red velvet. Her teeth are largely obscured but her canines are clearly elongate. She is wearing a white strapless corset covered in red and pink flowers.

DRACULA

"Johnson played Lucy’s outward sexuality fully and...expanded it after her encounter with Dracula...Vela and Federico’s version is well-written, beautifully produced, and acted perfectly."

"...a two-act, female-orgasm-first version...a sex-thirsty force of nature."

"Lucy...refutes the patriarchal admonition that sexually frank women are unseemly. She’s nearly a nymph, or even a demigoddess of playful eroticism."

Ravenscroft

"There are ghosts on the staircase, skeletons in the closet, and much more than the Inspector bargained for!"

An older man in a dark tan grasps a young woman dressed as an upper-class Victorian woman. They seem to be in an argument.
Two couples are present. In the foreground, a blonde man leans in to kiss a dark-haired woman, though he seems inebriated. In the background, a woman in a red dress leans against a wall as a man in a dark grey shirt approaches her.

SUCKERS

"As Jane [Netherfield] (the soon-to-be-astrophysicist), Natalie Hope Johnson provides a strong entry point to the show. Her opening monologue feels [as] natural as if it were invented on the spot. It carries with it an air of secrecy, the words she speaks shouldn’t escape this room..."

"[A] highlight [was] Natalie Hope Johnson, who uplifted Jane’s truthful innocence throughout."

communicating doors

"Natalie Hope Johnson portrays Poopay with both toughness and vulnerability that makes her extremely likable...a brave, intelligent woman who happens to have had some tough breaks. Her growth as a character throughout the play is magical to watch in Ms. Johnson’s capably talented hands..."

Two women with dark hair sit on a light blue vintage sofa. One is wearing a navy blue dress and fishnet tights. The other wears a purple jacket and leans suggestively on the other woman.
Three people sit at a dining table making a toast as a maid looks on from the background. One of the women is dressed more elegantly than the other people and seems to be judging the situation.

blood feast

"...a single unimpeachably successful performance...by Natalie Hope Johnson, whose Leaena is the only source of real humor amid all the mounting unpleasantness...by virtue of Johnson’s hook – a British dialect she unwaveringly occupies, the ironic lilt of which allows her to take every line like the top of a banister – nearly everything she says is amusing. The play surges into life once she arrives..."

the hollow

"...Then the glamorous Veronica (Natalie Hope Johnson), a movie star who was an old flame of John's, arrives and things start to sizzle."

"...A former lover, the movie star Veronica Craye, portrayed with bitchy glamour by Natalie Hope Johnson..."

A man wearing a black evening suit stands at a fireplace behind a seated woman wearing a powder blue dinner gown. A third woman leans against a chair in the foreground. She is wearing a white, sequined, strapless ball gown and seems to be speaking. The set is of a 1920s upper class living room.
