Fallen Saints: Salem

This play is wonderfully acted by a strong ensemble cast...

It is worth seeing and hopefully will return later for more audiences to experience. I would recommend checking out their future performances as well.

As a piece of horror theater, Fallen Saints is less about startle scares and more about a creeping, uncomfortable psychological progression of good people twisted into supporting bad things. From the moment the play begin, the tension of the environment around Salem is palpable, and it only thickens and worsens as the narrative progresses.

...Kudos go to writer, Kerry Kazmierowicztrimm, and director, Sebastian Muñoz for orchestrating a masterful lesson on the persuasive and sometimes deadly fallibility of man.

It’s a wild ride of a theatre experience that is sure to land right up the alley of those who enjoy period pieces a la The Witch, but always wanted those types of movies to feel a little more claustrophobic and personal.

...There are only a handful of major players in the entire production, and each actor manages deftly to deliver a powerhouse performance while still not upstaging anyone else — which is an exceptionally hard thing to do.

Every year, Force of Nature manages to examine a different theme of the “Fallen Saints” concept, creating a unique, entertaining show with several layers of horror interlaced throughout its larger storyline. This year is no exception. And, in fact, this year it takes the emotional stakes up several levels, allowing audience members to experience the same kind of confusion, fear and rage so well developed in the characters.

The show effectively satisfies the sweet tooth of Halloween fans looking for a spooky treat along with theater lovers looking to plunge into the deeper layers of human darkness.

We always appreciate the quality when it comes to Force of Nature Productions, but this time they knocked it out of the park when it came to use of space and special effects. The set, lighting and sound design came together seamlessly, pulling us further into the narrative, as well as impressing us with some of the technical aspects of how it was accomplished. The ensemble’s performance was fierce, engaging and exciting, and we enjoyed feeling like we were a part of the action. SALEM was above and beyond what one would expect from a theatrical team of their size.

I attended the show last Saturday and was very impressed with it. The sets are small and intimate. The production has made great use of the space that they have. With very few props, they have created a very effective atmosphere, especially in the first half the show. I don't want to give anything away but the way that they build up the tension and terror is fantastic. This is a very emotionally charged production, especially in such a small setting and the actors are believable and genuine. I absolutely can and do recommend seeing this.

Wonderfully creepy adaptation of the witch hunt story of Salem. A religion fanatic family gets a haunting inside their home and the audience gets immersed inside a church where evil claims the villagers one by one until the unexpected climax leaves you wanting more answers but you end up with more questions.
I enjoy the immersive experience, kind of like going through a Halloween maze but this is theater which makes it all the more fun for this theater goer. If you’re looking for an experience that’ll haunt your dreams, Fallen Saints: Salem is what you need to come see! A force of nature indeed!!!

It’s only forty minutes long, and while that’s nice if you have other plans, I 100% wanted at least another forty minutes, if not more. The cast and theater are small, and the sets are sparse, but that doesn’t matter because it is a brilliant performance that keeps your attention the entire time.

The fears that hide within people combined with the power of suggestion help propel this short drama into a captivating moment for all of us to reflect upon our own fears and how we too are also vulnerable to being manipulated. The cast does a wonderful job in bringing the audience along with them into the dark and hopeless place of Salem, where the lines between good and evil become horrifically blurred, with dire consequences. Great dramatic entertainment!

Fallen Saints: Salem tells a horrible tale in a very good way. The production is a great Halloween-themed event that will appeal to those who relish witches, fear or paranoia.
