REVIEW ROUNDUP
"Committed and passionate interpreters take both the soft and edgy parts of the narrative to task. ...The sublimely-named Something Incredibly Marvelous Happens tackles the oftentimes airy script with energy and verve.
...The strong cast is up to maintaining the landscape, and breathes a vitality into the souls of the real and imagined..."
-Patrick McDonald, Hollywood Chicago
"In José Rivera's script, metaphors of Gabriela's turmoil are played out in scenes in which Gabriela's cat (Arti Ishak) is courted by Coyote (an agile and lascivious Luke Couzens). Calling Cat from her safe domestic life, Coyote seduuces her with his dangerous and wild nature. Will he love her? Consume her? Both? Overseeing it all is Moon, lover of love and romance, whose lunar glow creates magic and desire in all it touches. As the guitar-playing, serenading Moon, Glenn Stanton is a stand-out: sexy, seductive, with a voice like velvet and a mesmerizing presence; he is a god of love and a delight to behold."
