FINAL WEEK FOR "THE GOLDEN HOUR" (THURS-SAT AT 8 PM AND SUNDAY AT 3 PM)--MUST CLOSE THIS SUNDAY, MAY 21!
"Few topics in theater are trickier to bring off than spiritual queries. That makes 'The Golden Hour'...unusually noteworthy...(the play) succeeds through its core integrity, which director Jeff Liu and company locate with easy warmth...(Linda) Shing nails Laura's every beat, from opening account to final enigmatic gaze. Her colleagues respond accordingly, which sustains our interest in this unaffected treatise on the mysteries of divine intervention."
--THE L.A. TIMES
"Set in Los Angeles’ Korean-American community, Philip W. Chung’s compelling play about faith examines what connects us to other people....The actors deliver impeccable performances under Jeff Liu’s assured direction, and Chung’s smart and frequently humorous writing cleverly sidesteps the maudlin and the mawkish. "
--THE LA WEEKLY
"...an absorbing and literate contemporary drama...The Golden Hour is sure to stay in your thoughts well after the final curtain--and what greater accomplishment does any work of art need to fulfill?"
--ENTERTAINMENT TODAY
"Telling a story that is either full of hope or full of despair is a fairly simple task. Telling one that looks squarely at both hope and despair is not so simple. The Golden Hour succeeds in striking a deeply sad and poignantly uplifting balance."
--THE STUDIO CITY/SHERMAN OAKS SUN
"A poignant story of redemption earned through emotional struggle, 'The Golden Hour' possesses fine acting and storytelling. Writer Philip W. Chung deftly examines what it means to be grateful and hopeful in a world of dark events and tragedies...Director Jeff Liu vividly brings the themes to life...The entire cast is outstanding...Production work is also first rate with excellent use of lighting, set pieces, and sound."
--THE TOLUCAN TIMES
"Playwright Philip W. Chung has created an intensely personal work, probing whether faith and hope are still possible in our miserably downward-spiraling world...Chung has fashioned a provocative contemporary drama, beautifully realized under the straightforward direction of Jeff Liu...and featuring a uniformly dynamic cast."
--BACKSTAGE WEST
"Philip Chung’s unassuming look at how people respond to sudden disaster receives a strong production from Lodestone Theatre."
--LA CITY BEAT
"Chung’s The Golden Hour offers a sense of quiet solace and strength that can be found in the family around us and the faith within us."
--ASIA PACIFIC ARTS MAGAZINE
