“ Wonderfully written dialogue. I absolutely loved the flow of it, especially when it transitioned into the play WITHIN the play! That was awesome and served the story very well! The story is smart and every detail is clearly very thoroughly thought out. ”

“ "How long will you be here?" - "As long as I need to be" - That moment was the first of MANY that beautiful moments in this exploration Allen and Philip's relationship that wrenched at my heartstrings. Loss is something we all explore in different ways but here Philip not only explores the events of his relationship he opens himself up through his creativity, creating a 'show and tell' dynamic to the piece. Both characters, their history and the moment they share in this emotionally complex piece is something that is sure to touch an audience, utterly beautiful. ”

“ Philip Middleton Williams skillfully crafts a tender recollection that fearlessly confronts challenging realities. True to Williams' signature style, the play boasts masterful storytelling and multi-dimensional characters, captivating the audience throughout. "A Tree Grows in Longmont" is undeniably beautiful and moving. It grants the viewer a unique opportunity, even if only within their imagination, to breathe life into a play they have authored with a lost lover. Such a vulnerable piece. BRAVO. ”
