Dean Bruggeman has written and directed a beautiful and heart-breaking show with engaging, moving, layered performances by its actors. Laura Pursell is a revelation in her portrayal of “Whitney” with her sensitivity, vulnerability and deep emotional access. I left the show deeply moved. Only The Moon Howls is a true gem. I highly recommend seeing it....
