Reviews

“Serving up tricky material with such an abundance of craft and care–including a veritable buffet of vivid, nuanced acting–[Third Rail] reinforced their position as the city’s most consistently excellent theater company.” –The Oregonian

“Third Rail is known for its dark comedies, and The Pain and the Itch qualifies, though “comedy” may be stretching it in the end. The company is also known for its fine acting company, and this show is definitely no exception.” –OPB
