Publicity & Reviews

  • “Director Anna Senechal Johnson has tapped an excellent assortment of actors who throw themselves wholeheartedly into the melee of passionate confrontations.”

  • “Director Anna Senechal Johnson, recognizing the beauty in Shepard’s plain-spoken American locutions… never rushes the action and allows her cast of uniformly outstanding actors to take full ownership of each conflicted character.”

    — Tony Farrell, Richmond Times-Dispatch (May 4, 2015)
