Stage and Cinema - Highly Recommended

"...But this is not Theatre of the Absurd, which concentrates on one's failure to accept the absurd, leading to a lack of reconciliation. This journey goes somewhere. Humorous, insightful, and necessary, this is kind of a non-musical Stop the World - I Want to Get Off, the Newley-Bricusse show that gave us "What Kind of Fool Am I?" Don't miss Ammunition Theatre Company's tour-de-fools and embrace this Void. You'll thank me. You'll thank them. You'll be thankful for being alive, and for theater. Plus, you'll have a whole new appreciation for rubber chickens and red Tootsie Pops."

Stage Raw - Highly Recommended

"...This Ammunition Theatre Company production exudes a synergistic energy, infusing and projecting the talents of the four-member ensemble and the design team of Mark Kanieff (scenic), Sami Ratner (costumes), Lauren Wemischner (lights), Mischa Stanton (sound), Brian Nichols (projection) and Erica Smith (makeup). The quality of the production design is displayed to great affect even at the first meeting of all four clowns at a bar, surrealistically realized by Kanief. Meanwhile, director Solis imaginatively balances the knock-about action with telling tableaus that freeze a brief moment of victory or defeat before they dissolve forever."

Theatre Notes - Highly Recommended

"...This show shines with brilliance. Mr. Cubría's script is lean, precise and filled with originality in concept and language. The cast, under the excellent direction and choreography of Felix Solis, enliven their performance with the extraordinary physical energy and prowess of circus clowns. The creative team includes Mark Kanieff (Scenic Design), Lauren Wemischner (Lighting Design), Mischa Stanton (Sound Design), Sami Rattner (Costume Design), and Arian Saleh (Composer). Jenny Park calls the cues with authority."

Theatre Ghost - Highly Recommended

"...I'm sad to say that until now, I have not seen a production by Ammunition Theatre Company. I will not miss another: these are artists to be reckoned with. Cubría's The Giant Void in My Soul is a remarkable playwriting achievement, and Ammo is giving it a delightful, virtually perfect production."

Hollywood Revealed - Recommended

"...Currently, they are presenting the world premiere of Bernardo Cubría's latest work, The Giant Void In My Soul at The Pico (formerly Pico Playhouse). This play reaches across social, political, and cultural divides during a crisp 90-minute performance with characters, written as clowns, in a Commedia dell' arte style. Taking on big big questions and goals in life, it still manages to mine the humor and relatable ironies that we all face when of searching for meaning in life."
