ANONYMOUS certified reviewer June 20, 2022
I was very impressed with the quality of all the performances. It was a moving, important story about family, and the need for honest and open communication. Absolutely outstanding acting! Full of surprising twists. Bravo!!!... full review
DAVID LUCARELLI certified reviewer June 18, 2022
A play that makes us ask some interesting philosophical and existentialist questions about our society in the past and present. What does it mean to be an American? Do the answers to today's problems lie in forgotten or abandoned values in our past? Would yesterday's problems have been easier to solve if we applied our modern enlightened perspective to attempt to solve them back then? Is mankind's nature fundamentally fixed, or can we grow and evolve past the self destruction of violence and war?... full review
LAUREN PETERSON certified reviewer June 18, 2022
I thoroughly enjoyed All American. It touches on important, timely issues such as the patriarchy, gun violence, feminism, trauma of war, and alienation/isolation. The play illustrates advantages that exist in two different time periods 50 years apart. It also demonstrates progress and the alarming lack of progress made over those 50 years. Pops tarts haven't changed. The cast is strong and united. Definitely food for thought. ... full review

I loved this show! It was a really cool adventure. They brought another world with them onstage. True magic! This should be a musical. I saw several places where songs could go.... full review

I loved this play! It was powerful, clever, humorous at times, and moving. How the writer covered such a wide range of topical issues was impressive. I would highly recommend this show. I hope it goes on to have a bigger run in other cities. ... full review

The show is well written and well-acted. While the subject matter is difficult given our dark times, the writing is able to engage with it in a way that feels both refreshing and meaningful. The cast is strong from top to bottom. ... full review
