- Emily Mendel | Berkeleyside
“Everything coalesces in this wildly physicalized production."
- Jean Schiffman | SF Examiner
“With strong performances and production elements adding up to a brisk foray into the dark underbelly of witch hunts”
- Lou Fancher | East Bay Express 
“Excellent production...astonishing cast”
- Steve Murray | Broadway World
“...tight as a drum...one of the best shows I've seen in 2019”
- Charles Lewis III | Thinking Man's Idiot
"spirited music, vibrant choreography, and passionate performances rev up a high-octane show from start to finish."
- Jordan Freed | Theatrius
“Director Ariel Craft brilliantly orchestrates the creative energy of the Shotgun actors to capture the conflicting but synchronous feelings of horror and delight of the play.”
- Christine Okon | Theatre & Such
