ACCLAIM

"...smart and insightful...remarkably prescient...compelling in its exploration of how two people in love deal with a terrifying separation that may be forever.  ...exquisitely sensitive and nuanced...genuine and true.  Special attention must be paid to Brent Hazelton, who directed this piece with a sure sense and deft touch..."  Damien Jaques, Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel

"...emotional intensity...compelling...captivating..."   Russ Bickerstaff, Shepard Express
