Such an intense, funny, shocking and uniquely intriguing piece...Incredibly diverse and honestly a breath of fresh air in theatrical productions around this valley.

The set design was immaculate, and everyone was PERFECTLY cast...If you have the chance to see this show, RUN to go see it." - BDG
"So so good." - SD
"Stray Cat continues to stage quirky, unpredictable shows that no other theatre in Phoenix would touch. Usually high production values, excellent performances from the cast, and a comfortable venue at the Tempe Center for the Arts. "Drug Lord" is not for those who are squeamish about gratuitous violence and it was kind to amply warn attendees in advance. That doesn't excuse the fact that the playwright's focus on the relationships of 4 teenage girls required these acts. It certainly delivers a powerful, yet disgusting, illustration of just how far the girls will go to be a part of the club. The actors, particularly Jasmyn Gade and Jazmyne Plantillas deliver very natural performances that felt very real. Be prepared to feel uneasy." - goldstar review

“I want to say something about the show, but don’t really have the bandwidth to process what I saw last night.
I fell in love with theatre as a glittery escapist fantasy, with showtimes and costumes.
I am still learning the language of taking in theatre to be challenged. It was a very spooky uncomfortable night. I think that was the point?
Anyway, the incredible young talent on that stage made me super proud of AZ.
Go see it if you are up for a challenge.” - EM

"We saw this over the weekend! Really…..really amazing!! Get to the Stray Cat Theatre and have a scary good time." - MM
