Stage Scene LA - Highly Recommended

"...High school sweethearts reunite for the first time since their breakup thirty years earlier in Timothy Braun’s absorbing World Premiere two-hander Coney Island Land, or The Great Existential Actuality at The End of The Universe, a terrifically acted and designed guest production at North Hollywood’s Theatre 68 Complex."

"...Coney Island is an intoxicating play. Beguiling, maddening, visceral and achingly truthful."

- Samantha Simmonds-Ronceros

Stage Raw - Somewhat Recommended

"...Director Lucy Smith Conroy expertly keeps the actors in motion in what could otherwise be a static meeting of the two. She also gets very nice performances from Tate Evans (1) and Thomas Piper (2), both of whom clearly have the chops to excel at more challenging roles than those of Coney Island Land."

"...CONEY ISLAND LAND, OR THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL ACTUALITY AT THE END OF THE UNIVERSE is a two-hander world-premiere drama that traffics in nostalgia, regret, the road not taken, and the possibility of a new road leading to a new future. Set over Memorial Day weekend 2021, Timothy Braun’s script focuses on a Woman (Tate Evans) and a Man (Thomas Piper), high school sweethearts reuniting after thirty years in a hotel room in the titular Brooklyn neighborhood. He’s now an alcoholic travel writer who’s jetted in from Europe and she works for an environmental agency, having flown in for a conference from her small Texas town where she lives with her husband, a husband she intends to leave. With three decades of baggage to unpack, the weekend is filled with temptation, revelation, and fumbles toward connection."
