The Path to Catherine - Write Act Repertory Company
Reviewed by V Cate – Stage Raw.. Zehentmayr’s book and lyrics defy the density and make the lessons quite digestible... songs are so well composed that it has serious potential as a mainstream musical....the musical direction and live musicians are impressive...The potential for this musical, inspired by the true story of an epic feminist icon from history, is vast...

The Path to Catherine features a cast of three women and a sung-through score with modern musical elements combining percussive grooves and soaring, emotional melodies bringing this untold, true, historic story into the 21st century.

Teenage princess, Sophie, a prospective wife for Peter, heir to the Russian Empire, finds herself pulled between the desires of her mother, Joanna, and Elizabeth, Empress of Russia. But her focus soon shifts from love to power, and each woman must decide what is most important to her and what she is willing to do to achieve it as Sophie starts down the path to become Russia’s most powerful female monarch, Catherine the Great.

Why this show? And why now?
Nowadays, we happily find ourselves in a renaissance for women. When we track the arc of how we got here, the life of Catherine the Great stands out as a shining example of a woman who broke boundaries and expanded our acceptance as contributors to the world stage. The Path to Catherine shows that where a woman ends up in life is the culmination of not only the path she walked, but also who walked with her.

The Therapist - An Episodic Series based and adapted on the novel The Therapist by Michael Kokkinaris

On the historical island of Rhodes, 15th century. The Magistrate of the Order of Saint John enlists the Knights to solve the mystery of a mass murder where victims bodies’ bear the marks of a large animal. The sole survivor on the scene of the grisly crime is a little boy, Andronicus Honiatis, whose mother was murdered right before his eyes. Unfortunately for the Knights, he cannot identify the murderer or murderers. Years later, when it becomes known that the hands of the now young man, Andronicus, have healing powers, a ruthless chase to kidnap him begins. In a time long ago, star crossed lovers meet. Destiny and fatal attraction pits our heroes against supernatural forces for the soul of the island of Rhodes. And as the medieval story of the Knights of the island of Rhodes unfolds, so does another story, this one far darker and more gruesome... The orphan Andronicus is preyed on by many, all with selfish motives, his rough exterior softens when he meets Louise D’anjou, who is connected not only to the sinister murders of the peasantry but that of Andronicus’ parents. The truth and what follows is beyond the bounds of human imagination invaded by the supernatural world.
