“The best show I have seen, “Trick Boxing,” a screwball play about crime and boxing that features rapid-fire dialogue and bursts of whimsy.”

— New York Times

Trick Boxing is a beautiful piece of comic storytelling performed with an infectious charm by two versatile actors at the height of their powers. With cheeky nods to the gangster films of the 1930’s Trick Boxing is a tour de force in comic acting by the brilliantly verstile Brian Sostek. Megan McClellan is outstanding as the swing dancing Bella. Sostek and McClellan have performed from Minneapolis, to Seattle, across Canada and in London, to name a few.
“The true power of Trick Boxing lies in the delight an audience derives from watching two performers enjoying themselves on stage. The plot may be as light as a feather and the only prop an apple, but what Trick Boxing lacks in budget it more than makes up for in heart.
Through puppetry, dance, humor and charm Sostek and McClellan captivate the audience and deliver punch after punch of theatrical gold. With an almost effervescent positivity that will leave the most jaded audience beaming, Trick Boxing is a show that floats like a butterfly and swings like a bee” –What’s on in London.
