"...a remarkable, charismatic Nathan Gardner narrates the show.
Scrooge a soulful, richly emotional, Robert Stattel
The entire cast is terrific
Thomas Coté’s thoroughgoing direction... contributed to what is a very extravagant production for off-Broadway."
Scenic Design by Craig Napoliello, lighting by Diane Duecker and costumes by Kimberley Windbiel are all first rate.
If you see this show... you will discover a break out star. Nathan Gardner is the real deal. He can act, sing, dance and makes us love him. .. I predict this boy will be a star.
–Suzanna Bowling, Times Square Chronicle
"To have selected this fine cast who all give superior performances, staged them all expertly, and realized the potential of each work is triumphant achievement. Her work combined with the fine writing and excellent ensemble makes A la Carte: A Feast of New Plays, a very fulfilling theatrical event."
"BOTTOM LINE: Our highest recommendation! The most exciting new work of the Off-Broadway season. Six brilliant short plays by superb writers, performed by a stunningly beautiful cast and superbly orchestrated by a masterful director. A must for enterprising theater-goers!...Please, WorkShop Company: Let's have another half-dozen courses from this delectable menu."
—Ronald Gross, NY Theater Buying Guide
"Beautifully written and performed, Daughters of the Sexual Revolution is moving, funny, and thought provoking, with richly conceived stories and characters brought vividly--and memorably-- to life."
"...Laurie Schroeder as ready-to-break at any moment Judy Prescott (she’s got the most to do here and does it with aplomp); Christine Verleny as Joyce Horowitz, at first seemingly so together, even predatory, but then we find as wounded as anyone else; Alyson Lange plays that pretty much one get-under-your-skin one note of Stacia Horowitz; Michael Selkirk provides as much touching moments as he does subtle comic as Ed Horowitz, probably the wisest character here next to Stacia’s much beleaguered new college boyfriend Simon played by Luke Hofmaier and Greg Oliver Bodine plays a too-assured of himself Dr. Liam Prescott. As I say they are all wonderful."
—Ralph Greco, Short and Sweet NYC
"With a great sense of time and place, Ms. Goldstein has written a highly compelling and very
entertaining, well-plotted play that examines the complicated relationships of these couples
with believability, drama, and humor,'' "From its complexly comical opening scene to its wistful conclusion, Daughters of The Sexual Revolution is a joyous, insightful and involving workthat is perfectly rendered."
"Daughters is a real winner of a play because it tackles multiple aspects of a society undergoing fundamental change. Under Susanna Frazer’s careful direction, and cushioned by the period perfect (without being ostentatious or goofily exaggerated, as 1970s re-enactments often are) set (Jennifer Varbalow) and costume design (Annette Westerby), Dana Leslie Goldstein’s crisp and witty dialog flows easily, allowing us to fall deeply and un-distractedly into the play."
"The cast is well suited to their roles and we understand who each of these people are. Susanna Frazer does a good job of directing and keeping this fast moving . . . The sound design by Joe Marquet was a delightful flight to the past." —Suzanna Bowling, Times Square Chronicles
"This ensemble cast does a fine job portraying these six middle-class East Coast characters whose motivations are never neatly parsed but whose words can be brilliantly playful or brutal."
". . . this play is not only about female sexuality; rather, it's about men, society, expectations and morality, and, of course, the effects of a powerful revolution that we're still feeling today."

"Ryan Lee’s direction successfully portrays the Sicilian barrenness that opposes Bohemia’s chaotic innocence...The whole cast does a marvelous job of juggling the two opposites of Sicilia and Bohemia...This production of The Winter’s Tale turns the bleakness of a tragic winter into the vibrant sensuality of spring." -- Juan Recondo, Off-Off Online
Ethan Cadoff and Annalisa Loeffler
"It's Shakespeare done with utter simplicity that unlocks the play's magic . . . [Director Ryan] Lee orchestrates it with no satiric twist--and it comes across right as rain...captures its life-enhancing message of rebirth and redemption...Tess Frazer and Jon-Michael Miller...have excellent chemistry and charm to spare." -- Deirdre Donovan, Curtainup.com
"Everything about this production is a pleasure, from the intimacy of the performance space, to the clarity of the language, to the strong and committed performances by the entire cast." -- Howard Miller, Talkin' Broadway
