He has gotten the most out of this talented bunch and the cast work together as a cohesive unit.” --Jessica Johnson, Front-Row Reviewers (The Curious Savage) “… a wild, romping journey through a fairy-and- sprite-filled mystical landscape… capable of making even the most abject theater yawner joyfully hysterical.” -Steve Dunford, Utah Theatre Bloggers (A Midsummer Night’s Dream)
