Reviews
“[Love Song], helmed by artistic director Marti Lyons, is dynamic and delicious, from it’s easy laughs to a style of linguistic interplay that you can feel in your body“

“This production is, among other things, a love song to theater itself, and those who share that love should make a point to see it.”
– Hugh Iglarsh, NewCityStage
