“…a fascinating, creative presentation examining the emotional release inspired by anonymous confidentiality… versatile set design from Jeff Ridenour…the strings were centrally placed to serve as the primary voice and connecting feature. In obvious and effective symbolism, letters were pinned to chords strung across and about the performance area, casting fluttery shadows on the three oversize paper panels that served as backdrop. All was shaded in solemn gray tones, props and costumes, lending anonymity and versatility to the stories and characters.”
- Libby Hanssen, The Kansas City Star
