Editor’s Pick: “DAY OF THE DOG, an absorbing play.”

—Judith Newmark, St. Louis Post Dispatch“… the real star of the evening is Daniel Damiano’s text.

His voice is distinct and refreshing with a tone that reminds me of an Edward Albee with a bit more rooting in reality … A playwright to watch.”

—Greg Solomon, Theatre is Easy“The show hits the ground running and doesn’t stop for what is a riveting two hours … the work is virtually flawless, as is its execution … Mr Damiano’s play masterfully disassembles the porous foundation of this family.

He shows us the humor of a dysfunctional marriage, of a couple living in denial, without ever resorting to caricature … Organic dialogue flows effortlessly from the mouths of rich, truthful characters.”

—Dmitry Zvonkov, Stage & Cinema
