“…For a really satisfying cultural riff, however, you’d have had to take in LOW TIDE HOTEL, an enchantingly whimsical montage of maritime-themed songs and literary excerpts performed three times last weekend. Cast members Mark Jaster, Sabrina Mandell and Scott Sedar lent mystery and humor to a script that sampled songs such as “Moby Dick” and even the Police’s “Message in a Bottle.” The retro visual aesthetic — straw boaters, a hatbox, a tray of saltwater taffy — dovetailed beautifully with Jaster’s foley-artist-style sound effects, which included “My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean” played on a musical saw.” Celia Wren, Washington Post
