Audiences and critics have spoken! Locusts Have No Kings at the New Conservatory Theatre Center has been EXTENDED! Come see the show through May 21st, before it gets swept up in the locust swarm!
"This is a play of profound ideas, intense emotions, and authentic spiritual reflection. It’s deep, and it’s funny. It’s the kind of work that demands a lot out of the actors and this company rises to the occasion. Matthew Bridges is particularly good as the conventionally pious Matthew, and has the most interesting character arc of the four. Bridges displays an impressive emotional range, taking the audience for quite a ride." -TheatreStorm
"The cast is believable with emotionally raw performances as delivered by Matthew Bridges as Matthew [...] The finale is a cross between Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf and The Exorcist with supernatural effects and a shocking denouement." - BroadwayWorld
"NCTC’s Director-in-Residence Richard A. Mosqueda builds the drama by allowing his top-notch performers to physically divulge secrets and backstories slowly. We are drawn to the individual struggles of each character […] the final scenes are worth the price of admission." - Stage & Cinema
