Critics and audience members agree:
\n<\/em>Body Awareness is a must-see!<\/h3>\n

“This is one of those lovely ensemble productions where everything meshes…\u00a0gets the music of the dramedy exactly right<\/strong>.” – Bob Hicks, Oregon Arts Watch<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0– a Willamette Week<\/em> Pick! and selected as part of this week’s top 12<\/a> “Deftly juggling emotion and reason, it slyly tugs at the heartstrings but is too smart to pander to sappy sentiment.<\/strong>”
\n– Rebecca Jacobson, Willamette Week<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

“…it’s a focused, smart little show, full of thoughtful performances<\/strong> from actors who clearly understand their characters.” – Alison Hallett,\u00a0Portland Mercury<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

“…\u00a0a thrilling production<\/strong>… Over the years, CoHo has honed an uncanny ability to suddenly pull a first rate rabbit out of the hat <\/strong>when you least expect it. This is that show, and you don\u2019t want to miss it<\/strong>.” – portlandtheatrescene.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

“While I’m pushing arts events: Body Awareness at CoHo is both smart AND funny AND well-acted.” –\u00a0Barry Johnson<\/a><\/p>\n

“Body Awareness<\/em> is simply one of the best pieces of theater I’ve seen in Portland<\/strong>…truly and deeply moving, honestly funny and just plain amazing<\/strong>.”
\n– Christa Wessel, All-Classical Host (via Facebook)<\/em><\/p>\n

“Director Gretchen Corbett stages\u00a0Body Awareness<\/em>\u00a0as a tightly controlled<\/strong>, deliberately uncomfortable production.” – Carol Wells, The Oregonian<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

“What a\u00a0wonderful\u00a0time\u00a0at the\u00a0theatre\u00a0we’re having in Portland! Are we lucky or what? Last night was the opening\u00a0of Body Awareness to begin\u00a0CoHo’s season and\u00a0there was\u00a0a treat in store for us there….the<\/strong> cast of four is so strong and the story is a spellbinder<\/strong>.\u00a0 Go check this one out for yourselves; sometimes I feel that CoHo flies a bit under the radar for a lot of folks<\/strong> and I would encourage all of you to give this one a look.\u00a0 I can’t wait to see the rest of their offerings this year<\/strong>.” – Kay\u00a0Olsen, pdxbackstage<\/a><\/p>\n

“We loved it. Well cast, amazingly natural acting, and great direction. Funny and poignant\u00a0at the same time. Thanks, Gretchen and everybody else too. It was a wonderful afternoon.” – goldstar member<\/a><\/p>\n
