On the webpage of Black Box Teaters tg STAN is presented as follows:
"Two keywords characterise tg STAN: actor-oriented and undogmatic. The undogmatic aspect is reflected through the company name - S(top) T(hinking) A(bout) N(ames) as well as the repertoire. The company works with a wide range of texts, all based on social criticism. Cocteau and Anouilh stand side by side with Chekhov.
Thomas Bernhard is equated to Ibsen and comedies by Wilde or Shaw stand side by side with essays by Diderot. This range doesn't reflect a wish to present something to every taste, but rather a well-considered, purposeful attitude towards the repertoire.
For tg STAN the actor is key. The company works without a director, a strong notion they refuse to compromise. Perhaps this is the reason their best work make such a powerful unit. The actors' joy in working makes the productions sparkle, while communicating social and political points without moralising.
tg STAN was established in Antwerp in 1989 and throughout the first half of the 1990es it gained the position as one of Belgium's most recognised theatre companies, a status the company still possesses."

Laveyne, Liv (26.04.06). of/niet. De Morgen [Brussels]:
"The STANners have a wonderful time in this web of misunderstandings, as does the audience. The audience may laugh, but the situations that arise are painfully recognizable. STAN’s question is: do we laugh back at the picture we see of ourselves? Or not?"
Smets, Wim (03.05.06). MisunderSTANding. The weekly magazine Knack [Brussels]:
"(...) flawlessly executed, extremely witty and totally compelling."
Janssen, Hein (06.05.06). Of/niet entertaining and clever. de Volkskrant [Amsterdam]:
"Entertaining and clever. Comedy at a high level, perfectly poised between technical skill and a huge wink."
Ancion, Laurent (10.06.06). STAN - Itching powder for the stage. Le Soir [Brussels]:
"If your friends don't like the theatre, take them to see STAN and they will surely change their mind. It's irresistible. After this your friends won't be able to do without!"
