Echoes of Miami: Processional Performances from Past to Future
Miami University, 2018
"Echoes of Miami is the sort of risk-taking show that comes along seemingly only in Fringe Festivals. Credit the Miami theatre team with bringing the tonal leaps and shifts in time and place to making this college a place of great theater that is a diamond in the crown of Cincinnati area theatre.”

"The direction of Echoes of Miami was on point, executed with great care and with attention to the innovative presentation of the material. To pull off the technical demands and organization of the production with so many moving parts, with such success and aplomb, was a great triumph for Henke and it was a wonderful night in the theatre.”
