“ It's no wonder Closing Doors has had so many productions and awards. It's one of the best short plays I ever read. Taut, timely, crackling dialogue, a sadly relatable situation, this is the best type of theatre. Audiences will be arguing over what the last line meant, and what they'd do in the situation. As a teacher I'm so grateful playwright John Minigan has committed to paper what we deal with every day in a chaotic and careless world. ”

“ Are we responsible for protecting an individual or the group? Should a child be traumatized for the sake of a drill? What are the parameters of friendship in a crisis? These difficult questions are raised with great skill and a focus on the human dimension in Closing Doors. The difficult moral ambiguity facing those who face these questions is explored to shattering effect. This is an important piece and an effective piece of theatre. ”

“ An incredibly complex examination of characters who both have good intentions and strong ideals. This play proposes powerful questions to its audience, and forces you to see things from multiple perspectives. A powerful read!! ”

“ As a future educator, this definitely made me think a lot about the choices I will be forced to make in my classroom. This play shows the audience that the world is not all black and white. ”
