REVIEWS

"I laughed more at this play than I have at anything on a local stage in a long time, And for that many thanks to the skillful playwright and the talented cast that brings this piece to life. You can talk about your playwright competitions, but this new play is just about the best new play I've seen produced on a Columbia stage" ~ The Free Times, Columbia, SC

"Finding laughs in the characters foibles without mocking them, a refreshing change for a play set in a southern trailer park" ~ Mount Vernon News, Ohio
