"Reasons to Be Pretty" is an unsentimental look at the relationships between four people... Very well played, troupe!

- Cliff Kasden, Brooklyn Spectator

"The Righ Reasons" is a sparkling and utterly believable bedroom sketch that explores the politics of sex in a smart and forthright way."

- Di Jayawickrema, nytheatre.com

Best nonmusical revivals... Baltimore CenterStage's production of Lynn Nottage's "Crumbs From the Table of Joy," a lyrical memory play worthy of comparison with "The Glass Menagerie."

- Terry Teachout, The Wall Street Journal
