“Charles Mee Jr.’s lyrical, fictionalized bio-play “Soot and Spit,” which conjures Castle’s world and work in a beautifully designed, dreamily evocative production directed by Kim Weild at the New Ohio Theater.”

“The audience is pushed to draw their own conclusions with as little judgment as possible. This is so completely admirable and selfless, and the time given over to it so overwhelming, it’s enough to make you weep.”

“wildly imaginative, entertaining and heartbreaking”

“Soot and Spit celebrates our differences in the ways we perceive the world and it does it in a very loving and joyful way.”

“Soot and Spit is a beautiful and honest representation of Castle’s work and celebrates an artist’s innate need to create.”

“Director Kim Weild guides this play with a masterful hand, while allowing each individual member of the cast and creative team to shine. Soot and Spit is a singular experience that cannot be missed.”
