"Much as the author did with his novels, Mroch’s production taps into the audience’s imagination, allowing them to help create this rousing, thought-provoking theatrical experience..." Colin Douglas, Chicago Theatre Review
"Mike Mroch's direction immerses us in our milieu for the efficient, but never overhasty, 70 minutes during which Nemo exceeds the limits of his virtuous intentions by challenging nature itself, thus bringing upon himself the fate of all heroes surrendering to hubris, and leaving us to contemplate the lesson conveyed by the survivors of the thrilling voyage." Mary Shen Barnidge, Windy City Times
"the movement takes focus as Mroch unfolds the essences of the story like a dance." Katy Walsh, The Fourth Walsh

The Dictionary Project is a self-produced project in which each play is created for and inspired by a very specific audience member. A person buys a play, gives a page number that corresponds to a page in Cassandras dictionary, and by the end of that year Cassandra writes them a play about one of the words found on that page.
