"... what really put this show over the top was a knockout cast and the near-perfect staging by the brand new Black Sheep Productions (with director Vance Smith at the helm)"
-NewCity, Best of 2007


"thanks to the cast of everyday all-stars assembled by director Vance Smith... the ensemble took Spencer's fastball script and knocked it out of the park."
-TimeOut Chicago


"..pungent, explosive, dark little comedy, and it’s rather brilliantly performed by a veteran crew for the new Black Sheep Productions. Pumped up by Vance Smith’s astute yet brassy direction, Kevin Stark turns in an astonishingly hyper-energized performance as Jack."
--Jonathan Abarbanel, Windy City Times
