ACCLAIM

"...provocative but not preachy...laugh-out-loud funny...magnificent...  It's been a long time since I've heard an audience laugh this spontaneously and this hard.  ...heartbreakingly poignant...quietly devastating...a marvel.....has legs and will travel..."  Mike Fischer, Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel

"...thoughtful...poignant...funny...recognizable...gorgeous...beautifully nuanced play...subverts expectations...masterful...terrific accomplishment...painfully relevant and revelatory...seeps slowly in hearts and minds creating complexities..." Gwen Rice, OnMilwaukee.com

"...wonderful play...brilliant...very, very funny...overwhelming response is laughter.  The last time I heard a Rep audience laugh this hard may well have been the memorable production of NOISES OFF...profound impact...there is no disappointment in this play..."  Dave Begel, DaveBegelonTheater.com

"...convincing...beautifully written...smartly addresses timely issues with quiet honesty...heartfelt...nothing heavy-handed here...sobering in its realism...complicated...sneaks up on you...balances the tough and sweetly poignant moments with ample amusement and laughter...laugh-out-loud funny...a conversation-starter...it's reality."  Kelsey Lawler, BroadwayWorld.com

"...wonderful...reminding us that we all come from somewhere...intimate...emotionally charged with tension...sheer perfection...fascinating...topical reminder that the more we try to separate ourselves, the more alike we are..."  Harry Cherkinian, Shepherd Express
