The Weird:
"The appeal of the show lies entirely in the cast in any case, who attacked their roles with delightful gusto...It's cute, fun, funny, and probably the best theatre bargoon in town at a mere $18 a pop. Both Wake Up Marconi! and Manhattan Theatre Source are on my list to keep an eye on for future productions."
Arts and Culture Maven
"Filled with blood and gore and plenty of camp, this is an incredibly stylized piece that has a great deal of commitment from all of the actors...all move effortlessly from role to role in this fright filled evening." Broadway World
"It is a fun evening...I'm sure this piece will settle nicely into its horror comic groove." Nytheatre.com
The Spitfire Grill:
"The Spitfire Grill is as much what you want it to be as anything. It doesn't pretend to be showy or glamorous, but, much like the Grill itself, or perhaps a good piece of gossip, the show offers a little something for everyone, most especially a good story."

Turn of the Screw:
"We are recommending this production without the least reservation, as the two party cast gave an outstanding performance in their flawless delivery of some very demanding dialogue. When augmented with greatc staging and obvious superior direction, it made the experience a theatrical pleasure."
RetroVision Theater
"The whole is performed without scenery or costume changes. Still, in Don K. Williams's beautifully directed production, James's story feels distilled rather than downsized." OffOffOnline.com
"Pinsly's young governess could easily have been a one-note character, but there's something more than desperation in her portrait of the innocent lost. Cook juggles his roles using his body language and voice to separate young boy from creepy old housekeeper, but he's most frightening when standing in the shadows as the ghosts..."The Turn of the Screw" sticks to its creepy origins and captivates to the final moments."
New Theater Corps
"...this is one tale of repression and supernatural ambiguity that will give you psychological creepy crawlies for days."
Newbie NYC
"The Wake Up Marconi ! Theater Company (love that name) has come up with something of a different spin on this supernatural tale."

American Drama: Pocket Edition:
"The snappy dialogue and breakneck pace provide a relentless stream of gags."
St. Paul Pioneer Press
"Hilarious. This well-oiled comedy machine grabs and won't let go until you're limp with laughter."
