Media

“Superb theatre with the simplicity and power of Thornton Wilder.” – San Diego Reader
“Extols the virtues of an America solidly rooted in Midwestern values... a comedy in the best sense, it celebrates the biological urge to survive despite adversity and affirms the triumph of love over fallibility.” – Pittsburgh Press
