“CHICK FIGHT is the kind of in-your-face work of art that makes Shaking the Tree so great. There’s no sitting quietly in the dark, nodding off or checking your watch. You’ll laugh and gasp, you’ll likely recognize yourself in a lot of the situations (for better or worse), you’ll admire the brilliant writing and exceptional performances, and you might possibly feel like you have also been touched by someone with poison in their veins. It’s an exhilarating, thought-provoking, and necessary piece.”

“Chick Fight is an example of devised theater doing what it’s supposed to. Between the lighting by Griffin Dewitt, the cello by Armon LaLonde, and the words by Sara Jean Accuardi, it feels like an organic, integrated, singular, vision.”
– Chris Gonzalez, Willamette Week

“Funny, fierce, and memorable… Chick Fight is a risk, a deliberately discomfiting statement in a time when comfort is at a premium. You should see it as soon as you can.”

“‘What a triumph! What a show!!’ By the time the disembodied voice of a public address announcer rings out with those lines at the end of Shaking the Tree’s Chick Fight, we’re not much inclined to trust him… But as a critical assessment of Chick Fight as a whole, they’re spot on.”
