“Things A/B are well-played by Budney and Choi, who are also commended for their excellent deployment of Olivia Vaughn Hern’s puppetry…Couser and Budney also contribute some adorable choreography to accompany the music…it is funny, intelligent, engaging, thought-provoking, and worth a look-see”

The Play That Goes Wrong Review By Alex Hanson, Valley News
“The acting on that set is uniformly terrific…Florence and the stage manager, Annie Twilloil, played brightly in Sunday’s performance by understudy Kate Budney, have a memorable pas de deux in the second act…I could go on about the cast, but suffice it to say that the production rests on their persistence”
