Los Angeles Times: "nothing less than stunning...a fable, a foray into the surreal or two facets of one brilliant gemstone, this engaging theater piece is a precise mélange of mime, muscular

About An Attic An Exit
In this theatrical tour-de-force, Looney-tunes comedy meets magical-realist mystery in a single room crammed full with riddles, levitation, baking supplies, and two meticulously explorative twins you will never forget. An Attic An Exit follows these two white-faced, white-haired twins caught amidst the household clutter of saucers, silverware, and salt. Watch as they find escape from their confinement through an imaginary landscape of fetishization.
“One of the perennial thrills in attending arts festivals is coming across a work that had never registered strongly in the blizzard of pre-festival publicity. After the hype, comes the discovery. There was little buzz before hand about Lean To Productions’ An Attic An Exit, but the premiere of this 50-minute dance theater work (more mime than dance) proved a rare pleasure and, for this festival habitué, one of the highlights of the past two weeks… These people actually have respect for their audience… This pair knows their Looney Tunes… There’s theater magic here…”
-Allan Ulrich, VoiceofDance.com, 2008
