"Kelley Donovan's fiery "No Such Thing as a True Story," a dynamic pageant performed by eight accomplished women, set to a mystifying recorded sound score by Brian King. Donovan appeared intermittently in the piece, opening and closing it with a forceful solo performed on a diagonal line, and dressed in a magnificent shimmering silver costume by Sarah Chapman. Donovan is a highly charismatic performer, and you could feel the energy in the house augment suddenly whenever she appeared onstage. She's given her dancers challenging and vigorous material that succeeds because it develops a restricted set of movement ideas and its concomitant floor patterns, instead of continuing aimlessly without purpose. The company looked radiant, even a bit decadent, in Chapman's glittering lace costumes that recalled 1950s Hollywood." -Ted Bale, The Boston Herald
