The Boy in the Basement @ SoHo Playhouse & Barrow Street Theatre:

“Meghan Powe could not be funnier as Anna, the good Midwestern girl.”
-Backstage critics pick!



“Meghan Powe lays on enough naiveté to guarantee the audience knows The Boy in the Basement is a spoof.”
-NYTHEATRE.COM

“The high point of the show is the lingering kiss between Anna (the virgin) and Lance (the hunk) which seemingly goes on forever while the author describes it in every way possible.”


“All the girls are strong and funny.”
- Oscar E. Moore, Talk Entertainment

“The cast are all funny, attractive, or both.  Nell Balaban directs with a firm hand, and the humor never lags.”
-Broadway World

The Boy in the Basement gets Four Stars from Time Out NY!

“More than any other Fringe show I have seen over the last couple of years, The Boy In the Basement epitomizes what I think this festival is all about… a finely woven, immensely entertaining play that is not only very funny, but also manages to take a few unexpected turns on its way to leaving you…well, if not exactly moved, then tingly.”

New Orleans @ The Crowne Theatre:

“The strength of the play is in the language and the characters. The cast is outstanding, with each of the actors creating a unique and believable character ….Of particular note…..Powe, as the young and self-deluded Marie….”
-Byrne Harrison, OOBR review of New Orleans
