LAURA WILEY certified reviewer August 23, 2021
This show is EXCELLENT! Phenomenal writing and movement. Love that it’s told through smaller, more intimate stories that all come together. It’s a poignant take on our current events and it’s done in a way that is elevated and intelligent. Highly recommend!!! If you only have time for a few shows this year, make this one of them. I am thrilled that my first experience back in the theater post pandemic was truly a masterpiece. ... full review

The opening moments of “It’s been 76 Years” grabbed me right away, with the direction by Richard Piatt and choreography by Soda Persi. And the scenes, so incredibly relevant, masterfully penned by Gregory Crafts, kept me totally tuned in to what was happening before me. An important piece that should be seen by everyone. And props to Soda Persi for not only her choreography but for the depth of her acting skills that brought me to tears. The tie-in from past to present is genius.... full review

Go see this play! There is so much here to unpack in a great way. Every character had a dilemma and was truly 3 dimensional. There are no clear "protagonists" and "villains" -- every character had a well thought out set of reasons to have their opinion. So much energy and strong characters in just 80 minutes... full review

"(It's Been 76 Years and We're) Still Waiting for Lefty" was an incredibly wonderful show, and another jewel to add to Theatre Unleashed's crown of creating thoughtful, interesting, and entertaining pieces of theatre. While I was wary of watching something so tuned in to what is going on in this country (I've been feeling pretty knocked around on all sides from the ever-oppressive news cycle), I was pleasantly surprised that the show, while rightfully angry about the state of things, was first and foremost a theatrical experience, not a diatribe about the ills of society. The acting was uniformly excellent, and Greg Crafts has written a piece with real power to it. ... full review
