What they said about The Madwoman of Chaillot:
"Artistic Home has chosen a political play from 1945 that is more significant than most contemporary dramas…Scambiatterra has directed Giraudoux’s absurd play with great buoyancy, and whipped it into a tangy lemon meringue."  - Time Out Chicago

"Artistic Home is known for the strength of its ensemble acting…an energetic, intense show that almost busts a Parisian-style gut." - Chicago Tribune

"The Artistic Home...makes this challenging material quite accessible and marvelously fun knowing that beneath the circus-like antics of their environment lays a seriousness of equal importance...This purposeful reflection on the world is what producing great, timely theatre is all about." - Gay Chicago Magazine

"…crackles, thanks to Scambiatterra’s graceful, light-hearted direction and a savvy cast…a lovely and spirited production..." - Daily Herald

"Kathy Scambiatterra’s sprightly, circus-like staging celebrates these fulsome eccentricities…the ensemble teem with tomfoolery. Insanity was never so healthy."
- Chicago Free Press

"The Artistic Home is a Chicago gem producing amazingly high quality shows in their tiny storefront theater. The Madwoman of Chaillot is another ensemble masterpiece…extremely funny yet with enough sting to deliver its message" - Chicago Stage Talk
