November 22, 2011 – Review of It is Done: “It Is Done is a show like no other. It is terrifying and hilarious and thought provoking all at once.”  Kimberly Laurenne, Show Business Weekly

November 16, 2011 -Review for It is Done:It is Done will thrill you, surprise you, and have you walking away shaking a bit in your boots…As an active playgoer, I see a lot of shows and normally I can “see it coming.”  This one completely blindsided me especially the ending.  Although it works well in an actual bar, this could go on to a full sized Off-Broadway theater; it’s that good.”  Karen Nowosad, Newark Theater Examiner

November 16, 2011 -  BACKSTAGE.COM CRITIC’S PICK: “Vague supernaturalism, whiskey, and Hank Williams on the jukebox make this Sam Shepard’s stomping ground, but Goldberg keeps a sure footing. The playwright has a keen gift for dark humor, as well as an enthralling style of slowly unspooling information. Ojeda’s performance drives the production, featuring densely textured line readings that make each word sound like its own sentence. She plays Ruby as the ultimate alpha female, zipping ably among the seductive, comical, and dangerous aspects of her character while leading poor Jonas (and us) to whatever grotesque place she pleases.” Mitch Montgomery, Back Stage

November 16, 2011 – Review of It is Done: “Tom Wojtunik’s direction is fabulous…The actors all come through with strong performances.  By putting the audience in the midst of the action the creepiness factor is upped, the tension is tightened and the payoff is higher.  If you’re looking for something different, you’ll find it here.  If you’re looking for a good night of theatre with a twist – this is it.  Either way, It Is Done gets it done.”  Karen Tortora-Lee, The Happiest Medium,

November 14, 2011 – Review of It is Done: “I really enjoyed this piece.  It was fantastic.  I found it much better written than many other things I’ve seen lately.”  Michael Portantiere, Broadway Radio

November 16, 2011 – Review of It is Done: “Alex Goldberg has written a compelling, not to mention scary, play about human nature.  Director Tom Wojtunik wonderfully brings out the other side of all of the characters.  Hats off to Catia Ojeda for so amazingly dominating the action of this unconventional story.”  Ed Malin, nytheatre.com

November 17, 2011 – Review of It is Done “An intimate, engaging comedy-thriller.  It Is Done is a fun, entertaining ninety minutes of theater that takes advantage of its site-specificity without feeling gimmicky — and as a bonus, each ticket comes with a free drink.”  This Week in New York,

November 9, 2011 – Review of It is Done, New York City: “Goldberg has written a smart script that entertains from start to finish.  I’d honestly go see this show again — It’s a fantastic outing for any New York theatergoer, and perfect for a date or an evening with friends.  There is quality throughout this production and I highly recommend you check it out.”  Ben Charles, Theater is Easy.

November 9, 2011 – Review of It is Done, New York City:  “Suspenseful,” with “plenty of laughs along the way…If you enjoy a darkly-humored mystery in an unusual setting, It is Done is worth catching.”  Jennifer Farrar, Associated Press
March 22, 2011 – Review of The Third Date, Raconteur Theatre Company, Columbus, Ohio: “Alex Goldberg’s The Third Date is a gem.  The Third Date fires on all cylinders and is a satisfying, entertaining moving piece.”  Rick Brown, Naked Sunfish.com
