Nov 2015 – KALW.ORG|BY CHRIS HAMBRICK Sights and Sounds on KALW – weekly guide to the Bay Area arts scene through the eyes and ears of local artists. http://kalw.org/post/sights-sounds-weekly-121015#stream/0

“Despite that rather dark premise, and the show’s inventively dirty costumes and destroyed-world set, Salvage is an uplifting show — a testament to resilience of the human spirit, and especially, to the jaw-dropping abilities of the human body, displayed here by eight extraordinarily talented performers.” Mark Rudio, A BEAST IN A JUNGLE, December 5, 2015
