“Mostly what God of Carnage has going for it is the ensemble work and chemistry of these actors delivering on great material, nurtured along beautifully by director Lauren Knox. … And it is a delicious thing to see.”
“If you’ve encountered the show before, the Purple Rose offers its own unique take on what’s already become a minor classic. If you haven’t, you will find this production an entertaining treat.”

JANUARY 18, 2018 – MARCH 10, 2018
For a century or more, generations of men and women in Flint, Michigan earned good pay and benefits manufacturing automobiles and the things that go into making them. Almost overnight everything changed. The people whose dedication and hard work earned them a place in the most prosperous middle class in history found themselves unemployed and adrift. “Flint” is the heartfelt and brutally honest story of two couples struggling to endure and believe in the American dream.

“The roughly 90-minute one-act play (no intermission) is intense at times. But we are so glued most of the time to the character, perseverance and faith of Mitchell and Olivia, their simple love and work ethic, their rock-ribbed “do unto others…” default point-of-view that we can find hope and something brighter to fix on. ”
“For anyone looking to understand the problems faced by so many individuals, couples, and families since the decline of Flint, or anyone who lived or is living through the very same things as Olivia, Mitchell, Karen, and Eddie, seeing this play is a must.”

“The ladies of the show bring it. Sarab Kamoo, who plays Irene Adler, and Caitlin Cavannaugh, performing the part of Marie Chartier, both demonstrate their acting expertise. I love that playwright, David MacGregor, gave these women such strong roles. Instead of simply being there for looks or just acting as sidekicks, the play’s leading ladies are intelligent and involved in the center of the show’s plot.”

“Willow Run shows us not so much a road to the past for us to wax nostalgic about–millions died in combat and at the hands of the Nazis and Japanese–but to a time that was much sadder and heartfelt than a musical review would make us feel. As whole, though, the play is a wonderful shot to our American psyche and consciousness that reminds us that all good things are possible when we are about kindness, courage and compassion all at once. Willow Run is a roadmap to the future, to our better selves, for people willing to follow it.“
