“AMERICAN PSYCHO” @ Monumental Theatre Company, 2024.![]()
“Kelley and Wolhardt used a unique blend of found footage from the time period, acidified visuals, and live camera to lend a bird’s eye view to the gruesome goings on.”-Maryland Theatre Guide

“An unsung but crucial technical choice was its use of projections, a rarely-impressive but increasingly common element which is used here with pure artistic skill by Julian Kelley...”
