Press for I AM MY OWN MILF

​

Let me be blunt: you will exit the theater asking yourself: "What the fuck did I just watch??" But then??... you will explode into laughter, alongside all the other queer folks who just experienced this magical evening with you. [...] 

 

What stands out is not just the fabulously hilarious lip syncs, calling back to pop stars and celebrities of our youth being performed extemporaneously by Matthew Antoci - it's actually the genre of theater, and the characterization of Timon. Calling back to the Theatre of the Ridiculous, Matthew constructs the usually tragic figure of Timon as a... I don't know... it's more than just a satirical figure... it's more queer than that... it's actually a character that you hold great disdain for, continuously laugh at but also root for. [...]

 

Through the opulence, the glitz, and the glamour, the show's message about chosen family and choosing your own joy strikes through. [...] Run, jump, and sprint to see this boots the house down spectacle that can only be described by other audiences as: "they served c*nt, and then died. Slay." - Dylan, Theatr

I AM MY OWN MILF is a delicious hot mess. But all of that is intentional. [...] The rapping and flamboyance of Antoci's wordplay was a spectacle to behold. The whole performance was beautiful and chaotically entrancing. - Young-Howze Theatre Journal

Backed by a pair of talented multi-character playing interns named Happy and Ness (Lizz Mangan and Meaghan Robichaud), Antoci is in full diva mode in a production directed by Andrew Mullins that rapidly spins out pop culture references and lip-synced celebrity sound bites. This theatre-centric bubble-inhabitant appreciated the gags involving Into The Woods and Roundabout Theatre Company’s Board of Directors, and even though I didn’t understand at least half of the show, the bulk of the audience was laughing riotously. - Michael Dale, Onstage Blog
