SAID OF RECENT PRODUCTIONS:

" In its best moments - many of them involving Amato, who is exceptional - Kopec does for the Ripper's victims what Roberto Bolaño did in "2666" for the murdered women in Ciudad Juárez. He compels us to see these women as individuals. He gives them a name. Mary Ann "Polly" Nichols. Annie Chapman. Elizabeth Stride. Catherine Eddowes. Mary Kelly."
-MIKE FISCHER MILWAUKEE JOURNAL

" It doesn’t matter how many women scream before the curtain comes down, or how dark the fog around the lamplight seems – any show that can pull off moments like that with as much grace and power as The Canonical Five is not an ordinary horror play – it’s a terribly astonishing one."

-MATTHEW REDDIN THIRD COAST DAILY

"Blood, screaming, knives, ropes, stakes and sex. Alchemist Theatre’s Dracula has it all, and it’s awesome."

-DANIELLE MCCLUNE THIRD COAST DAIILY

"For all the fun in Kopec's "Dracula," this final twist reinforces its serious, underlying message: In literature and in life, women need not accept type-casting requiring that they once again play the role of helpless victim."
-MIKE FISCHER MILWAUKEE JOURNAL

"From the script on out, Kopec's Dracula is balanced. And it's a really good balance. It's balanced by virtue of the fact that he knows exactly what he's working with. He knows what audiences want from a Dracula production. He knows what his intimate studio space is capable of. And he knows the cast with which he is working. As such, he is able to construct a production of near-perfect balance."
