Producer
LA Weekly |
"a production that's technically stunning and dramatically and comically engaging."

LA Daily News |
"At the end, in a lovely nod to the men’s tiny fishing lures and all of us who live at the whims of the universe, expect to be hooked."
|
Los Angeles Times |
"It's a mash-up of Beckett, Ionesco and sketch comedy — except the protagonists are not waiting for Godot but for a fish that never seems to bite...
Welcome nuggets include some genuinely poignant exchanges, such as the musings of an elderly couple, played by Fischer and Heins, who, near the end of their lives, liken their existences to a poorly plotted movie with bad character development. Yet, they say, 'some of the scenery was nice.'" |

"Time has little relevance on this lake, day can be night, night can be day, but time passes in what could be thought of anywhere from an extended weekend or even months. In the flash of winter lighting, moments pass quickly and possibly weeks fly by. The time spent on the ice is a humanistic endeavor that outweighs the visual countenance of time...
Keaton Shapiro does a very fine job as a producer." |
Azbarez |
"It is this deft handling of a delicate script that ultimately makes “Nice Fish” a rather tasty treat."

Adapter and Dramaturg
Pittsburgh Quarterly |
"Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Drama manages to combine some of the strongest and rarest elements of great theatre in their production of Christopher Marlowe’s “Edward II”: rawness, mystery, risk and precision. This is the kind of performance of a classic play that eschews the pitfalls of tired masterpieces, and instead, evokes its subject like the memory of a long-past friend that has been glowing in your subconscious… like something forgotten reborn."

Carnegie Mellon Tartan |
""...Edward II rocked the Helen Wayne Rauh with a tale of power and gore. But the themes that Eckert and his team brought out in the adaptation are what will truly stay with audiences for a long time to come."
