REVIEWS: During the 2011 Capital Fringe

Washington City Paper
"It is a mysterious gift, the ability to make an audience laugh and cry for a family that is not your own and to celebrate the life of a man to whom we have no personal connection."

"This is a fully crafted story of love, loss and finding.
Maryland Theatre Guide
