Blogcritics Review: The Night Carter was Bad
The four characters in Ben Cikanek’s new comedy come alive for us, rooted in the script but thanks also to solid, sometimes superb, acting and Mike Klar’s wise direction.
nytheatre.com Review: The Night Carter was Bad
The cast ropes you in, charms you, turns you on your head, and sends you out the door wondering how Carter’s life will turn out. I highly recommend you go see for yourself what happens after The Night Carter Was Bad.

TheaterMania Review: An Octopus Love Story
One of the things that keeps theater so interesting is that you never know where you’ll find great work. On a bad night, you can have a dispiriting experience on Broadway.

The flowering of Jane’s courage, and to a lesser extent Danny’s, forms the backbone of the story, and Holsopple’s bravura performance locks it all together, with more than able counterbalance from Tyson and excellent performances from Creighton and Greer, both of whom make the most of their scenes.
Backstage Review: An Octopus Love Story
