Green Bay Press-Gazette theatre critic Warren Gerds gave “Vampire Variations” 3 out of 4 stars in his review. Notable quotes include:
“…bizarre, physical, wild and imaginative…”
“…lots of wordplay, some stake-in-the-heart stuff but no bloodsucking. The whole is comic creepiness or creepy comedy – your choice.”

Local theatre critic Warren Gerds gave “The Liar” 3.5 stars out of 4 in his review of the show. A few of the notable qotes:
“Venture Theatre’s “The Liar” is comedy on caffeine.”
“…the play is a high-energy romp about an all-lies guy and his tag-along-to-disaster pal and their feverish attempts to woo women.”
“Ken Goltz excels as Bill, the liar who has a different identity for every person he meets. John Egan clicks as the buffoon-pal, Chuckie.”

Warren Gerds, theatre critic for the Green Bay Press-Gazette, gave “DreamBound” 3 1/2 stars in his review this week.
“Inventiveness and imagination rule in Venture Theatre’s new, original and quite bizarre musical, “DreamBound.”
“…wow – wonderful stuff abounds (in a Venture Theatre/makeshift kind of way).”
“It’s a technically difficult show to do, which makes the production all the more impressive.”
Warren Gerds, theatre critic for the Green Bay Press-Gazette, had good things to say about the One Act Festival and Venture Theatre in general:
“While the plays tell a variety of tales (most comical), the presentations are not a hodgepodge but disciplined theater.”
“How cool is it to have a theater with fresh, well-played, imaginative productions as this? Way cool.”
“The plays are often single ideas that wouldn’t make a full-length play, but they’re worthy to unfold in 5 to 20 minutes. They create an impressive collection of hoots.”
Improv comedy every Thursday, Friday & Saturday.
