“Intimate, literate theater aimed at those with serious, curious minds.” — Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune
“A combination of panache and physical dynamism that I find altogether irresistible.”

— Terry Teachout, The Wall Street Journal
“One of the classiest and most consistently talented ensembles on the Off-Loop theatre scene.” — Newcity
“History: gossip well told.” — Elbert Hubbard
“Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it.” — Edmund Burke
