"PCPA has truly outdone itself with its latest production, CABARET.
First it must be said what a creative masterpiece this particular production is. Emily Trask’s gutsy vision and clean direction are top notch. " - SLO REVIEW |

Measure for Measure is a superlative show... At their best, Shakespearean re-imaginings can amplify the timelessness of the original work, and this is just what this production of Measure for Measure does. - SLO REVIEW |
"This simple but irresistible production succeeds–no elaborate sets or dazzling special effects required–because director Emily Trask understands that something special happens when an ensemble genuinely connects with each other and their audience."
