Ken Ham’s Journey to the Center of the Earth

 

Biblical Scientist / Adventurer Ken Ham finds Human and Dinosaur fossils in the same stratum.

 
... as with every production by Tatum and Leak, there is more than enough substance to keep our minds working well after the final scene ends.

”Clearly, this is a plot that pits good guys versus bad, nut cases versus reasonable. But it’s to Tatum’s credit that we’re rarely sure which is which.”

“There is a certain unruliness to this show.

The music is great, and there are lots of laughs along the way, but the story is a serious, poignant rumination about love, longing and how to move forward by looking back.

Strickland and Tatum have crafted a piece of theater that is tender and ribald, witty and touching. And it is oh-so-smart.”

” ... an eloquent and entertaining show about love and memory and the excruciating power of disappointment.”

“It’s exhausting. And exhilarating. And heartbreaking.”

“In the end, though, this is Strickand and Tatum’s show. They’re engaging and driven, performers who seem born to stand in front of an audience. They have stories to tell. Lots of them. You get the sense that without Director Bridget Leak there to rein them in, they would still be standing center stage, spinning great stories when the sun came up.
