Press Reviews

"Ken Urban’s theatre work keeps on getting better and better. THE HAPPY SAD is an entertaining, provocative and thoughtful look at twenty/thirty-something angst. It's a study of several relationships and of the accommodations people make to hold them together. There's wisdom here and wit.“ —NY Theatre. ”Urban is brilliant, provocative and gushing with talent!"

— OC Weekly
