"At Chasing the River, the eyes of the audience watch the stage, wide open for the entirety of the play, except for the scenes when tears block their vision."
-Catherine Vladimirov, Review Fix

"Intense, gripping, and momentous...An outstanding example of theater that can make a difference."

Christina Elise Perry fully embodies the role of Kat, as both an adult and an adolescent, manifesting all of her conflicting thoughts, muddled motivations, misplaced trust, and deep-seated pain, wanting to begin anew but tormented by flashbacks, attempting to make peace with her family and friends but bristling or exploding when they offer the same old implausible excuses – “I wasn’t sure,” “I didn’t know,” “Nobody knew,” “You were a good liar.” Her harrowing journey sends the message loud and clear: If you see something, do something; if you suspect something, say something."

-Deb Miller, DC Metro Theater Arts

Wait Until Dark

“Christina Elise Perry delivers. From the minute the play opens,
you get the sense that this young woman is blind and vulnerable in unimaginable ways.
There is no doubt that she is about to go on a journey that will test her and
perhaps scar her forever. Perry is talented and focused and real in the part.”

Fool for Love

“As May, Christina Elise Perry is amazing. In the hands of a lesser actor
May would be an easy role to overact. Perry finds a perfect balance and restraint,
showing us May’s rage and her hurt. She’s beautiful, but lets herself go to ugly
places in her heart, and you believe her.”
