PRESS QUOTES

“…a brief, biting, funny look at the business of Broadway through the hearts of three people who can’t stop lurching toward a spotlight or putting themselves “out there” time after time, year after year, decade after decade, because their hearts, and souls, won’t let them do anything else.”

EncoreMichigan.com

“…laugh-out-loud moments of sharp dialogue, expertly delivered by director Guy Sanville’s cast.”

MLive.com

“‘Casting Session’ has a charm beyond its impressively high laughs-per-minute ratio. It’s an intelligent play – with minimal physical comedy, but plenty of sharply crafted banter.”
