| (May 1, 2026, nothingforthegroup.com, by Lauren Halvorsen) Olivia Dufault’sFor Want of a Horse is now playing through May 25th at Echo Theater Company in Los Angeles.The “intimate, comedic, complicated look into the world of zoophilia”is directed by Elana Luo. |
| (April 30, 2026, angelestage.substack.com, by Don Shirley) The more surprising of these is Olivia Dufault’s “For Want of a Horse,” which explores the zoophilic feelings of a man (Joey Stromberg) toward a horse named Q-Tip, staged by Elana Luo for Echo Theater Company in the Atwater Village Theater complex. In fact, it’s surprising to the extent that spectators are beseeched to not give away the ending to those who haven’t seen it. So I’ll just say that Griffin Kelly expresses Q-Tip’s supposed inner thoughts and feelings convincingly — up to a point. Jenny Soo plays the man’s initially supportive wife, and Steve Culp plays a friend with a similar passion. |

| (April 15, 2026, broadwayworld.com, by Stephi Wild) Olivia Dufault's comedy stars Joey Stromberg, Jenny Soo, and Steven Culp at The Echo Theater Company Now in previews, the world premiere of Olivia Dufault's “For Want of a Horse,” a darkly comic, deeply human exploration of love, desire and unconventional relationships, will open on April 18 at The Echo Theater Company in a production directed by Elana Luo. Joey Stromberg stars as Calvin, who is devoted to his wife, Bonnie, played by Jenny Soo. But, as Calvin confesses to his best friend, PJ (Steven Culp), if he's to move forward, he needs to open up their relationship to include his new romantic partner. One complication: that partner would be Q-Tip (played by Griffin Kelly) — and Q-Tip is a horse. Performances run through May 25. |
