Reviews & Press
"Philadelphia Artists' Collective has done it again! PAC has unearthed another antique play—this time the obscure Renaissance comedy, The Fair Maid of the West by Thomas Heywood-- polished it up and made it shine. Under Charlotte Northeast's brilliant direction, a rambunctious cast whips us into the rowdy audience the play demands, and we laugh and stamp our feet and clap and roar our approval." - Toby Zinman, Philadelphia Inquirer
"The collective is just what it says – a group of local theater artists who work all over the region (and sometimes elsewhere) but want to run their own company to do work they probably couldn't otherwise do. They take risks, are highly attentive to shaping their projects and have the zeal that comes when people take on assignments they themselves have created." -Howie Shapiro, Newsworks.org
"Even more than a bottle of rum, THE FAIR MAID OF THE WEST is a Yo-ho-whole lot of fun!" -Deb Miller, Phindie.com
