Praise for Cherrie and Jerry
"It was such fun to laugh and laugh again in the theater. "Cherrie and Jerry" is uproarious and tender with performances from the actors that will make you want to run up on stage and hug them. Rachel Jones' Cherrie is wonderfully slutty and real and Jess Erick's Evelyn is so funny and authentic she steals her scenes. Bravo to Howard Meyer for writing great, insightful theater."
- Cynthia Magriel Writer, New York Times
"...Relax and laugh the night away...Mr. Meyer is dead on."
- Robert Heisler, Journal News
Praise for inside-out
"If you want to feel deep compassion, laugh with delight straight from the belly, cringe with recognition, and fill your senses with wonderful theater go and see the four one-act plays, "inside/out" that open Axial Theatre's 10th anniversary season. The acting will make you forget you are in a theater."
- Cynthia Wetzler, New York Times
"The public doesn't know what they're missing. The work you do shakes up my world, and it takes days for the dust to settle down - usually, in a slightly new construct. Angel Beast gave me a new look at the relationship between my father and I, and I'm sure The Inside/Out plays will do the same."
-John Daubney, author

Praise for AngelBeast
"Axial Theatre's production of AngelBeast receives high praise from Westchester Journal News critic Bob Heisler calling it a "bold new play" that "you'll be talking about for a long time."
“AngelBeast is a bold new monster of play. (It’s)… an evening of adult theatre full of fascinating choices by the playwright and the actors. See it and you’ll be talking about it for a long time.”
-Bob Heisler, Journal News, Gannette Papers
"AngelBeast is a play that haunts you long after you walk out of the theater. Howard Meyer has created characters with many layers and exquisite vulnerabilities brought to life by an electric cast. The ending is a show stopper."
-Cynthia Wetzler, New York Times
"AngelBeast is a powerful and intelligent new play with great humor and heart -- a compelling new look at the "sins of the father." You don't have to go to Manhattan to see exciting theatre and an immensely talented company of actors."
-John Bedford Lloyd, actor: John Adams (HBO), The Bourne Supremacy, Philadelphia
Praise for Two Hearts
“A thoughtful and emotionally engaging evening of theatre… you’ll be talking about long after you leave the theatre.”
