Here's what critics have said about previous Magis shows:

​​

2025  Angel in the Ashes.   "There is something formative — liturgical — about being able

to affirm goodness. Seeing goodness and praising it — and to do so with others — lifted my spirits. A little eschatological glimpse of unity. As we cheered, our sparks of affirmation

lit a fire of joy and fun in the theatre."  Renee Darline Roden JML 

 

2021. "The Magis Theatre Company has birthed a giant in their ambitious and yet admirably simple staging of Thornton Wilder’s The Alcestiad ...The play has surprisingly become even more relevant to us now as we live through our own version of its challenges, in particular ...a political situation in many parts of the world approaching tyranny, and an ever-increasing pressure to abandon concerted public action...A voice crying out that love, forgiveness, and a steadfast will to become better and more moral humans, to lead a meaningful life by reaching out beyond our own inner circle, can indeed conquer Death during a pandemic, comes as more than welcome news.  Jerise Fogel  Thornton WIlder Journal

​

2014 "A rare opportunity to see what is a thoroughly engaging production.. The cast members of the company do wonderfully."  Howard Miller Talkin' Broadway/ ShowScore

​

2010"Drance’s artful staging  shows what an accessible, delightful work Shakuntala can be onstage.”   Rachel Saltz  New York Times

 

2007  "The Magis Theatre Company is daring to be different… long on theatrical skill and remarkably short on preachiness, with plenty to say to those interested in matters of the spirit.” Neil Genzlinger New York Times
