Dee Jae Cox of CV Weekly writes, “The story is mesmerizing. The actors are phenomenal and the production values are exceptional. Michael Shaw directs this story of middle America and exemplifies why Dezart has become a top tier theatre company. The staging is intentional and each movement a revelation of who these characters are. The relationships between Chris and Jason and their mothers, life-long friends Cynthia and Tracey, is really the heart and soul of this story. Melgoza, Johnson, Clarke and Jewette were all incredible in their portrayal of average people trapped by the fate of their circumstances.
Thomas L. Valach’s set design is absolutely perfect. Every detail presented in realistic detail. Bravo to all of the backstage artists, Phil Murphy – Lighting design, Frank Cazares – Costumes, Clark Dugger – Sound and Selene Colon – Hair & Make up. All came together in portraying the raw and gritty reality of a Reading Pennsylvania factory town.”
