Published Reviews

"This is the very essence of theatre... Don't miss it."

The Bethlehem Press (Pennsylvania)

"...a rip-roaring reminder of how much we're entitled to expect from the theatrical arts... Lighting crashes. Boards creak. Props spring forth to support the plot in the most unexpected of ways... And through it all, the timing is immaculate."

Al Krulick, The Orlando Weekly (Florida)

"The kind of good scare that theatergoers love to experience."

Ed Wismer, Cape May Star and Wave (New Jersey)

"...The most amazing performance in the history of Cape May Stage!"

Jacob Schaad Jr., Cape May Gazette (New Jersey)
