"ROMULUS KILGORE'S MOBILE HAPPINESS BAZAAR"
...Fisher's magnetism was hard to resist.
Director, Jesca Prudencio, turned Galbraith Lawn into a joyful environment, especially in her staging’s of musical sequences...
-David Dixon, San Diego Story
"CAMPO MALDITO"
It’s hard to weave contemporary social issues into truly theatrical storytelling, but a company of graduate students from the University of California, San Diego, has done that beautifully with “Campo Maldito”...
- Laura Collins-Hughes, NYTimes
If you’re looking to be entertained in the moment and haunted for days afterward, it’s a production well worth checking out.
-Amy Lee Pearsall, NYTheater Now

Campo Maldito
By Bennett Fisher

Angry ghosts are disrupting business at a tech startup in the Tenderloin district of San Francisco.
