For rather than take the "Torvald bad, Nora good" approach we usually see, Wolber and his cast give us a far-more nuanced and multi-layered interpretation. The result, then - especially in this post-feminist era - is a play with no clear-cut heroes or villains; instead we're offered a far more realistic look at two people trying to make sense of their lives in a society filled with rigid expectations." -Don Calamia, Pridesource.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590913ae4b01327377b258b/1469197853858-S0Q6QYO24REXT90ODNJP/White+Rose+6.jpg David Wolber - Director "'The White Rose' prevails in creating real interactions between its actors that draw the audience into the story. Director David Wolber creates an atmosphere that allows viewers to laugh out loud at the students jokes, even while they grapple with the issues of free speech at stake. The production entertains its audience members but also presents ideas that they will ponder long after the house lights come up." -Jenni Glenn, Michigan Daily https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590913ae4b01327377b258b/1462284611547-DXTLUHE46845VPQD0AWF/A+Kid+Like+Jake+Dream.jpg David Wolber - Director "The Matrix Theatre Company’s 25th season is off to an impressive start with its current production of 'A Kid Like Jake' by Daniele Pearle. The cast of 'A Kid Like Jake,' under the direction of David Wolber, handles the delicate but explosive gender-relevance subject with utmost respect. This is actually a very funny play...We often hear tales of come-from-behind wins referred to as a 'Cinderella story.' The expression takes on new meaning in this moving, thought-provoking play." -Patty Nolan, Examiner.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590913ae4b01327377b258b/1467827403223-M53N2FNTDVL2SPK4RFUX/NecessaryTargets.jpg David Wolber - Director "Whether one is wholly changed by this experience, or is simply inspired by the genuine artistry of the play, 'Necessary Targets' aids in our understanding of war. Through the sensitive stage direction of David Wolber and the honest performances of the play's seven actresses, 'Necessary Targets' is a vital masterpiece." - Lynn Hasselbarth, Michigan Daily https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590913ae4b01327377b258b/1478884004176-DOZNC4NH1JTN336F8WVA/IMG_8202.jpg David Wolber - Director "Four out of four stars! With only a single chair as a prop, the Matrix uses all of its black box magic to put this story across. Director David Wolber deserves credit for some clever blocking that constantly asks the audience to use its imagination. Atop the excellent stagecraft and solid storytelling, the success of “2.5 Minute Ride” ultimately falls on Alexander. ...Alexander is spot on. She spills so much emotion onstage with each performance of "2.5 Minute Ride," you wonder where she finds more to bring to the theater the following night." - John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590913ae4b01327377b258b/1465610862649-WOTQC0P6Q7MFQJJ5IJX4/5.jpg David Wolber - Director "Director David Wolber stages the play with care and sensitivity, ensuring that its moments of greatest resonance always get their due. And Young is quite good as The Playwright who's making his professional entrance just as Huguenet exits from both the stage and the world." - Jenn McKee, Ann Arbor News https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590913ae4b01327377b258b/1467828298888-EUENGZ8UQIKW2A9A34JT/languageprod2.jpg David Wolber - Director https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590913ae4b01327377b258b/1463761114197-49D3S3WFQIKMQ1FGBGV6/11200599_356538184550747_6235056178966904535_n.jpg David Wolber - Director "You have one more week to scoop up your teen-and-older family members and see the Michigan premiere of “I and You” at Theatre Nova in Ann Arbor. Make the effort. Lauren Gunderson’s play (a Michigan premiere), directed with great care by David Wolber, has a simple story arc that inexplicably opens up to a star-filled sky." - Patty Nolan, Examiner.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590913ae4b01327377b258b/1496685540064-C39FTPQKGTBOQXZP815Z/DreamDeferredFacebook.jpg David Wolber - Director https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590913ae4b01327377b258b/1499965533928-DN1N06TT0W698Z0NPGAZ/DearElizabeth1.jpg David Wolber - Director https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590913ae4b01327377b258b/1511218612632-TU14784CAK5QLY0QFWBX/IMG_2794.jpg David Wolber - Director https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590913ae4b01327377b258b/1464980761111-YZSENEQREOOMQE6WB8TG/Carol%27d+4.jpg David Wolber - Director "Carol'd's best, most innovative moments are hauntingly memorable. Chief among them is the shape-shifting Ghost of Christmas Past, which is played by the show's four ensemble actors (Terry Heck, Chelsea Sadler, B. J. Love, and Kevin Young) while wearing white masks. Dickens' original description of the Ghost is wildly surreal and pretty darn impossible to represent in a non-animated medium, but Wolber and Zettelmaier (and the show's talented production team) bring us closer to the author's original vision than most adaptations dare to even try." - Jenn McKee, AnnArbor.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590913ae4b01327377b258b/1467150690294-R5GK9I2B5ROEAF9X3N24/GEOFFREY-5.jpg David Wolber - Director "Director David Wolber oversees the production with loving care and delivers on Carney’s trademark mixture of tenderness and wit. ...the play provides an evening of several satisfying laughs and a truly moving conclusion." - Ann Arbor News   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590913ae4b01327377b258b/1516209300742-9HH5ZYGZOQWBZN7LPZK5/carter_PNT_brill_2013_0046.jpg David Wolber - Director https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590913ae4b01327377b258b/1463079286880-ZNU1ES5H5XN7YUA3O3AA/1011978_10152151688747417_1773190686_n.jpg David Wolber - Director "As directed by David Wolber, the production aims to strike harmony between the kind of emotional display that makes for a moving stage production and the script's florid narrative passages and devices that are reminiscent of young-adult fiction. The result is a powerful tale whose impact cannot be undone by its necessarily compromising concessions." - Carolyn Hayes, Encoremichigan.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590913ae4b01327377b258b/1517963503711-X575OXVS56RDB023TDA6/Stillness+Press5.jpg David Wolber - Director "All this is well done on stage; the actors are engulfed in their roles. The sisters respond to their loss each in her own way: they hurt each other, they protect each other, square-dancing through life, switching roles, evolving as individuals and as a family. The Stillness between Breaths keeps it real, offering no pat answers or smarmy solutions. It's an in-depth character study of life the way we all live it — one breath at time." -Ann Arbor Observer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590913ae4b01327377b258b/1463080058929-4K4D95U5FX4SSFVX9CBW/162685_10150104036207417_6849834_n.jpg David Wolber - Director "Under the direction of David Wolber, this magnificent cast of three churns through a two-hour running time in the blink of an eye. Together, the trio expertly maneuvers the exhausting beats of the play's real-time presentation, reconnecting and disconnecting with admirable fluidity and showing the serious and absurd duality of the parent-child dynamic. The production elements generously complement but don’t stand in for finely tuned characterization and chemistry, which lay the groundwork for this hard-fought comedy. With its sharply funny sensibility overlaying painfully familiar relationship patterns, 'The War Since Eve' is a superlative production of a bright new script that any viewer may appreciate, but women (and their mothers — or their daughters) will laugh the hardest with cathartic recognition and affection." - Carolyn Hayes ,Rogue Critic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590913ae4b01327377b258b/1549280394774-PDW2MOWNME7EDBF8V5UV/IMG_5071.jpg David Wolber - Director “Director David Wolber strikes the perfect tonal balance between these two very different women who are not only related by blood, but by their passion for knowledge and science.” - Jenn McKee, Pulp: Arts Around Ann Arbor https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590913ae4b01327377b258b/1563334748796-59WIFGOT5FBSJPQ1Q8X0/StargazersPress1.jpg David Wolber - Director “Three talented actors under the direction of David Wolber bring credibility to their characters and find the humor and a bit of poetry in Hardy’s cosmic drama.” - PULP: Arts Around Ann Arbor review https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590913ae4b01327377b258b/1569453653412-M89LJ2U9BMN9IK4S1H1E/ADMISSIONSProduction2.jpg David Wolber - Director https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590913ae4b01327377b258b/1580494538268-YHRDQLYZ72TKEJU1GEI6/AppleSeasonPress3.jpg David Wolber - Director http://www.davidwolber.com/actor daily 0.75 2019-09-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590913ae4b01327377b258b/1463976948831-S3SYZCF8PV01O98997KM/1017115_10151674169467417_2031098609_n.jpg Actor - Theatre https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590913ae4b01327377b258b/1463979177739-U05OP04MAV9WCESVKWYU/David+Wolber+Headshot-2-2.jpg Actor - Theatre https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590913ae4b01327377b258b/1467835132668-8RD4AMMVE88E5SBN08HP/takemeout.jpg Actor - Theatre https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590913ae4b01327377b258b/1467923564366-5S471PP1VX60P3818OHF/life9flipped.jpg Actor - Theatre https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590913ae4b01327377b258b/1467923608330-JIC1SQB9647HZ5960FXL/takemeout.jpg Actor - Theatre https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590913ae4b01327377b258b/1478025465864-9VF3F7E9FCB2QE8V1JJ9/14642291_10157558483610023_2464868756478274612_n.jpg Actor - Theatre https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590913ae4b01327377b258b/1493049969507-S1LP80UL893FS36FB9EH/IMG_0193.jpg Actor - Theatre https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590913ae4b01327377b258b/1511217643775-HGTWAL6UTHDP9MTFHHAT/BeauWeb.jpg Actor - Theatre https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590913ae4b01327377b258b/1535477341478-0PBX4PZ1JFZPDOVZRA0P/Justin+Dietzel+Headshot+Full+Size-207.jpg Actor - Theatre https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590913ae4b01327377b258b/1469196556758-3DY04YVOCH4QO96CVQZR/rain.jpg Actor - Theatre "In a serious play, character beats plot every time. "Three Days of Rain" is meant to be taken seriously but it is also rife with humor. Berkman and Wolber generate sibling tension as Nana and Walker and sexual tension as their parents Lina and Ned." -Martin F Kohn, Detroit Free Press https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590913ae4b01327377b258b/1549281288565-E8GG2CRPDXOP3MM1XMP5/45102763_10156919635759729_8356636078764982272_n.jpg Actor - Theatre “Under the direction of Lynch Travis, the cast does a superb job of keeping it honest as they try to find context for their guilt and their pain, even as they express it with humor and humanity. The emotional substance of this play would tempt lesser actors to overact, but the work of this ensemble rings ever true.” - EncoreMichigan review https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590913ae4b01327377b258b/1463066031698-7A5G9PCTZX1239M9OO1Q/Leaving+Iowa0298+copy.jpg Actor - Theatre "The story is helmed by Don Browning (David Wolber), of the Iowa Brownings, although the adult Don has long since made Boston his home. Torrey and company honor the script's fluidity above all else, and even double down on this fast and loose approach to time and place with staging that is utterly unconcerned with the laws of physics. Wolber proves adeptly adrift as the adult Don, balks at unfairness as his younger self, and capably leads the many abrupt tonal shifts between. This 'Leaving Iowa' is a rocketing comic whirligig that spends a lot of time on the funny bone, but also makes some nostalgic emotional appeals in the realm of bygones and closure.
