• “CRITIC'S PICK. An endearingly daffy, compassionate comedy. DAVID GREENSPAN is always a delight to watch. MARIANN MAYBERRY and BRIAN HUTCHISON are particularly touching. LISA BANES is delicious. Mr. Greenspan the playwright has concocted A HONEY OF A PART for Mr. Greenspan the actor.”

  — Charles Isherwood, The New York Times

• “FUNNY, TOUCHING AND INNOVATIVE. Director LEIGH SILVERMAN draws maximum humor and poignancy from the talented cast.”

  — Jennifer Farrar, Associated Press

• “STEPHEN BOGARDUS, MICHAEL IZQUIERDO and TIM HOPPER make their characters into excellent company. ”
