PRESS QUOTES
“[Director Michelle Mountain] leans into the skills of this veteran ensemble to bring foundational credibility to characters that might otherwise seem too odd to be fully enjoyed.
“All theater companies aspire, with every show they produce, to create that elusive, hypnotic magic that happens when everything – the script, the director, the cast, the tech team, etc. – falls together in exactly the right way; but only rarely does this happen … [Morning’s At Seven is] my hands-down favorite Rose production since “A Stone Carver” in 2012!”
“What makes this work to some extent is actors who can delve deeply and sympathetically into the motivations, pains, and sly humor of these characters…”
