Unmentionables
by Joseph Samuel Wright Directed by Montserrat Mendez Company: Nylon Fusion Collective Cast: Rick Zahn, Jeanine Bartel Jimmy Betts Heather E. Cunningham Danielle Boivin Meghan E. Jones Christina Toth Winner: New York Innovative Theatre Awards Best Costume Design: Debbi Hobson "...it invites the audience to think about stereotypes and maybe reconsider them. What was thought scandalous in the 1930s may be acceptable – even if unpopular – today. Therefore, enjoying “Unmentionables” as a work of art."
-Ekaterina Lalo - Review Fix "The entire cast works beautifully and seamlessly, as secrets unfold and dark layers, beneath perky personalities, explode." -Roberta on The Arts |

The Birthday Boys
by Aaron Kozak Directed by Montserrat Mendez Company: ArtEffects Theatre Company Cast: Lowell Byers, Walker Hare, Zach McCoy, Abraham Makany, Jevon McFerrin, Patrick Cann, Roland Lane. "Montserrat Mendez's direction is even and compelling."
Sarah B. Roberts - Adventures in the Endless Pursuit of Entertainment. "Director Montserrat Mendez breathtakingly captures the tumble into madness." Andrea Chalupa - The Huffington Post "Director Montserrat Mendez has taken Kozak’s clever and strong script and directed it with a subtlety that confines it to a very small space but never forgets to give it room to breathe. Or room to laugh. " Mateo Moreno -Big Vision/Empty Wallet "Under Montserrat Mendez’s well paced direction, time flies in this 90-minute production, with no intermission. It’s a war story, where the actors convey virtually all of the action using conversation, resulting in a skillful unveiling of human psychology."

Outstanding Featured Actress - Lauren Roth "The production is probably the most lavish and beautifully realized I've yet seen at Manhattan Theatre Source, whose intimate space can be problematic for some directors and designers. Mendez serves in both capacities here, and the results are stunning" Martin Denton - nytheatre.com “Thought-provoking, fantastic, a unique and hilarious piece of serendipity.” Juliana Appenrodt – Showbusiness Weekly |
