“If you can only see one show, see this” - PHILADELPHIA MAGAZINE “Thaddeus Phillips, the creative force behind Lucidity Suitcase Intercontinental, has done it again. Combining wry charm with noble passion with goofy humor with beautiful images” - PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER “a delicious sense of lonely rumination and calm” - CITY PAPER “The totally remarkable, multi-taskforce cast includes Brian Osborne, Makoto Hirano, Lee Ann Etzold, James Ijames, and Emily Letts. The whizzes who aided Phillips and company include: Juan Gabriel Turbay (original score), Drew Billiau (lighting), Spencer Sheridan (video) Kevin Francis (sound)… . this latest adventure is not to be missed” -CURTAIN UP “Whale Optics is a beautiful representation of modern experimental theatre. It ebbs and flows, crafts careful parallels between dialog and story, masterfully integrates technical elements, and allows a clever cast a real chance to shine. It embraces its flaws, science, Carl Sagan, music, technology, whales, comedy, tragedy, and life, as almost none of us know it.” -KEY PULP ” wildly entertaining production …A must-see for this year’s Live Arts” -STAGETumblr (3.0;
