SMUDGE

A dark comedy about the changing face of the American family and the limits of love and cheesecake, as a hopeful young couple gives birth to a smudge.

"For signs of intelligent life in the theatrical universe, I hereby refer you to Smudge, Rachel Axler's pitch-black comedy."- Marilyn Stasio, Variety

"Creepy and funny. Precise and imaginative. Parenthood never looked weirder or more terrifying than it does in Smudge"- Rachel Saltz, The New York Times

"The mysterious newborn in Rachel Axler's smart, piquant Smudge is not lovable-looking In some sense, Axler's dark comedy is a horror story: a parent's nightmare rendered with sometimes lyrical surrealism. A meditation on ambiguity and ambivalence, Smudge also illustrates ambition: a parent's, thwarted, and a playwright's, achieved."- Adam Feldman, Time Out New York

"Smudge is filled with laughs, due to Rachel Axler's tart way with quips, director Pam MacKinnon's brisk, unsentimental touch, and the ability of both Greg Keller and Cassie Beck to make their characters real and complex."- Jennifer Farrar, Associated Press
