"William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, directed by Chris Cannon, is a modernized and condensed version of the original, but with a twist – Caesar and man of the main characters are women."
- Nashe Harley, El Don News
"By casting a female to portray one of history’s most powerful men, [Cannon] makes a timely statement. Cannon’s version of Julius Caesar has empowered women by switching gender roles. We applaud him for that. The historic Caesar was humanized when Shakespeare magnified his flaws. Director Chris Cannon’s gender bending will hopefully do the same for women."
- El Don News Editorial
“Shakespeare should be done this way more often. Director Christopher Glenn Cannon’s vision is innovative, fresh and compelling"
- Imran Rahimi, patron
"Magnificent fresh concept . . . I loved every mind-twisting minute and the assault on the senses."
