Production Photo

'AJ stands front and center, while Melissa (positioned at a distance on Caleb Wertenbaker's simple but ingenious set) sits behind a scrim at a table as she talks into the camera of an open laptop, implicitly telling us that this is where she spends most of her time.'
-Peter Hemstead, Theater Mania

'Above the stage, videotaped interviews with AJ’s fellow Marines and their wives and girlfriends are projected on a huge burlap-colored screen. The combination of live performance and video can be tricky to pull off effectively — often one upstages the other — but they flow together naturally here..'
-Charles Isherwood, The New York Times

'As opposed to forwarding one specific worldview, like in agit-prop or guerrilla theater, this piece addresses the impact of war…I wish Congress could go on a field trip to see Basetrack Live.'
-HOWLROUND

'A powerful, engaging multimedia production...Basetrack Live allows its audience to be fully immersed in the action rather than spectate from their seats....The multimedia style is truly the brilliance of Basetrack Live. Gritty, emotional, engaging and most of all, hopeful.'
-The Daily Texan
