Press Reviews
"This play, which follows a would-be artist who never quite makes it, is touching, funny, and filled with the wry perceptions which have become a hallmark of the author's richly comic style. “Mr. Schisgal is a brilliant writer of comedy, and his play is filled with delightful things.” —New York Post. “…a constant joy in its own distinctive and beguiling manner.” —Newsday (NY). ”…a funny, lovely, painfully gentle play that manages—without being fake, sensitive or psychedelically souped up—to understand just the thinking of today's young people."
— Women's Wear Daily
