4a.m. Friends at ESP Theatre

Reviews April 24, 2026 Amanda N. Gunther

We’ve all got our crew. Our people, our peeps, our “I need help moving a body”— Grey’s Anatomy defined it as “our person.” And several of us have a small army or contingency, but we’ve all got our ‘4a.m. friends’ as the tile of Endangered Species Theatre Projects’ newest work blatantly states. The takeaway from the play is that friends are important. The relationships that you cultivate over the years (and not all good friendships take decades to cultivate) are the ones that float you through life.

Something Wicked This Way Comes: Macbeth bloodies Frederick at Endangered Species Theatre Project

News January 9, 2026 Amanda N. Gunther

By the pricking of my thumb… a wicked new year does this way come!

Not exactly what Shakespeare had in mind, but the dude had a lot going on with thumbs. I mean biting them started a whole street brawl in that other bloody tragedy, so why shouldn’t pricking them bring about the end of days? Seems par for the course with the country’s current climate. What better way to welcome the new year than with a production of the bloody and iconic,

Endangered Species Theatre Project is back again with their fall production of The Canterville Ghost. A Short story written by Oscar Wilde in 1887 and adapted for the stage by Anne Raugh, Deanna Kinzie, and Christine Mosere. I was lucky enough to catch this show on Oscar Wilde’s actual birthday, and boy oh boy am I glad I did! This delightful story of an American family who moves into an English manor set the late 1800’s is charming,

Indecent at Endangered Species Theatre Project

You go to the theatre for a little relief, to be a community of people who laugh together. Or perhaps in this case, clutch their hands to their hearts and cry together. God of Vengeance, a real play by Sholem Asch, written in 1906, was surrounded by controversy, and on March 8th 1923, the Broadway production was cut short when the entire cast, producer, and one of the theatre owners were arrested and indicted (and later convicted) on charges of obscenity…of indecency.

The Awakening at Endangered Species (Theatre) Project

Reviews April 19, 2023 Amanda N. Gunther

Resolved to never belong to anyone but herself, Edna Pontellier controlled her own destiny.

But I’m getting ahead of myself.

Picture it. A balmy, breezy, almost tropical evening on Grand Isle. Louisiana Gulf. Cottages. 1890’s. Summertime. Can you feel the sea breeze blowing in? Smell the scent of the water? Can you hear the French Creole dialect running thick like Cajun gumbo through the words that get spoken? You’ll picture it a whole lot better if you slip on over to Endangered Species Theatre Project this April to experience their extraordinary production of Rebecca Chace’s The Awakening.
