“ …Talk is Free Theatre and Outside the March collaboration that took place in Barrie, Ont., on Sept 12, has garnered some of the most oohs and aahs so far.” | Nestruck, Globe and Mail

“Created by director Mitchell Cushman, designer Anahita Dehbonehie and choreographer Cameron Carver, the performance imagines a gorgeous fantasy of a coronavirus-friendly outdoor wedding, featuring all the party members housed in their own literal bubbles- those giant plastic inflatable orbs known as Zorbs.” | Nestruck, Globe and Mail


CABARET

“…this hit musical is a brilliant artistic achievement at every level..

★★★★★ London Free Press

Cameron Carver’s choreography appears loose, casual and slightly chaotic, yet is dependent on precise, fluid and timely movement given the intimate confines.”


SWEENEY TODD

“…a huge success that certainly rivals Punchdrunk on every level.”

★★★★★ Broadway World | ★★★★ The Londonist

“I’ve rarely seen a musical that moved me emotionally as much as Sweeney Todd, and never one that has moved me so physically. Cameron Carver’s expert physicality in an intensely intimate, active production balanced the spectacle that the music calls for with illuminating detail that you catch up close. It beckoned and horrified at the same time.” | Toronto Star- Carly Maga

A cast who exceeds expectations, clever writing and direction, and a remarkable and unanticipated musical production make the all-day experience a huge success that certainly rivals Punchdrunk on every level. | Broadway World

“Now from Canada comes Talk is Free Theatre’s The Curious Voyage, and on a grand scale that threatens to knock Punchdrunk off the top spot. “ | The Londonist

"It knocks both Hans Christian Andersen and

Disney out of the ocean." | THE GUARDIAN

★★★★★ The Stage | ★★★★★ StageTalk Magazine |  ★★★★  Life as theatre  

"As with the best of Sally Cookson and Kneehigh, Little Mermaid is an edifying, imaginative and passionate piece of family theatre. It’s absolutely in need of a 2018 transfer."  |  The Stage

"Emma Earle and Cameron Carver’s production for Pins and Needles, played out on Zoe Squire’s atmospheric design, which seamlessly moves from the shipwrecked underwater kingdom to 1980s Torquay, is light and witty, with fans used as fins. " | The Guardian

"Her ascent is choreographed in breathtaking style in Emma Earle’s and Cameron Carver’s production, bodies and sheets and lights coming together to enchant. She breaks through the waves and muted blues make way for dazzling light. "  |  Life as Theatre

"A genuinely modern, progressive production.... Little Mermaid a coming of age story in which adulthood is marked not by marriage but personal growth, falling in love is about the person not their gender, and happy endings aren’t rushed into." | Children's Theatre Reviews

"Co-directors, Emma Earle and Cameron Carver have packed their allotted time with invention, charm and wit with hardly a second left unattended. Simple devices act as sparks in a powder keg to the imagination. Conventions such as the use of fans for flippers and fins are meticulously applied with never a hint of the slapdash that could have blurred the clarity of vision."  |  StageTalk Magazine

"It’s a gorgeous, generous, love-filled treasure trove of a show that will stay with you and your family for many years to come." | B24/7
