Review: Amadeus
by Katherine Luck for Crosscut, April 10, 2012
"For an artist, perhaps the worst fate isn’t the antipathy of critics or the hostility of the public. It’s the awareness that one’s work is neither great nor terrible, merely mediocre. For the once notable and now forgotten 18th-century composer Antonio Salieri, this agonizing sense of his own mediocrity forms the pivot around which the tragedy of Amadeus­ spirals."

A Parent’s Review: A Year with Frog and Toad
by Wenda Reed for Seattle's Child, May 10, 2011
"My favorite part of Second Story Repertory’s gentle musical, A Year with Frog and Toad, was the snail. In round glasses, with antenna on his head and a fabric shell on his back, Snail propels a red scooter sloooowly across the stage, singing about how he’s rushing to deliver a letter from Frog to Toad. His mission is a running gag throughout the 50-minute performance ...

New executive director for SSR bringing theater back to life
by Samantha Pak for the Redmond Reporter, January 27, 2011
Mark Chenovick's first time on a theatre stage was at age 9 — and he's been hooked ever since. He was in a musical about Thomas Jefferson and had to sing seven songs and memorize 50 pages of text. And while that much work could have turned many children off, Chenovick was bitten by the theater bug. The Helena, Mont. native spent his life working on and off stage in various capacities and is now executive director of the SecondStory Repertory (SSR) in Redmond Town Center...

A Parent’s Review: Sleeping Beauty at SecondStory Repertory
by Laura Spruce Wight for Seattle's Child, January 12, 2011
SecondStory Repertory’s Sleeping Beauty is a magical reminder that this fairy tale existed long before Disney’s version graced the screen in 1959. If you have a fan of the silvery-voiced Aurora living in your house, the basic plots are the same: beloved baby princess is cursed by evil witch, pricks her finger on a spinning wheel and falls asleep until the enchantment is broken by her true love’s kiss. The similarities end there...
