  • Molly Wagner: Which Way to the Beach

    The characters drew me in immediatley and I was pulled in by their honesty and vulnerability as they discussed true acceptance and the poster of acceptance. I was not expecting the twists but I am oh so happy with how the ending tied up. The setting also felt like a character in itself, which I really enjoyed. So fun!

  • Eytan Deray: Which Way to the Beach

    Cute, fun little farce with a sincere message of love and acceptance at the center, plenty of cringe-inducing parent humor, and a nice twist at the end. Another strong piece by Philip Middleton Williams!

    Fun twists and turns in this family play. Parents have been embarrassing their children since beginning of time, but love and acceptance transcend the cringes. Well done.

  • Larry Rinkel: Which Way to the Beach

    This play (which somehow has the aroma of south Florida all through) turns some clichés upside down. Here it's the voluble big cop father who accepts his son's gay marriage, while the mother is more resistant. And watch that cell phone swallowing and breaking up consonants; it's a hint of the joke that lies ahead. Though the play basically turns on that one joke, it's a good one. Still, the best line: "We also do bar mitzvahs."

  • Claudia Haas: Which Way to the Beach

    This is a fun tale of mix-ups, love and marriage. There is a gentle undercurrent of the difference between "acceptance" and "true acceptance" that adds some depth to the play. The play would work well in short play festivals focusing on love, marriage and gay marriage.
