Post
"The Mai" is a vivid and affecting play..."
"This production's ingenious exploitation of its venue, lush with
"Masterpiece Theatre" vibes, really is something to see."
"Co-directors Linda Murray and Caroline Kenney have staged this
bittersweet memory play -- by contemporary Irish dramatist Marina Carr
-- to rather stunning effect on an upper floor of the Josephine Butler
Parks Center…"
"This production also boasts strong performances and gorgeous lighting."
"Kerry Waters lends intensity and grandeur to The Mai… Upping
the voltage further is Ken Arnold… an effective Karen Novack and
Clare Johnson…Clauss brings out the humor…daughter to Robert
and The Mai, portrayed with sultry poise by Stephanie Roswell…"

Examiner

the ensemble all give first-rate support, especially Roswell and Rusty
Clauss."
