THEATRE FOR THE NEW CITY, NYC:

“Director Kymberly Harris has served the needs of her cast, while clarifying the intent of the playwright with an artistry that has formed and shaped without intruding or over-burdening the staging once. In a play as volatile as this, that is a hallmark of directorial skills of the first order.”
