  • Cheryl Bear: You Have Earned Bonus Stars

    An incredible exploration of work place violence and the state of morality in the world we live in. With humor and authenticity, we're taken on a moving journey of discovery in the aftermath. Well done.

  • Steven Strafford: You Have Earned Bonus Stars

    I think what I love most about this play is its arguments for the complexity of each of us. Equal parts drama and comedy, I found myself gripped by the plot and moved by the characters. As an actor, I would love to get to say words like these, so full of humor and heart in the face of deep external and internal conflict. This is the sort of play that theatre-going audiences could find themselves, asking where they fall on the continuum of good and evil.

    Vince Gatton's plays are always funny, empathetic, and very moving, and this is another in that vein. A highly theatrical exploration of what it means to be good, filled with specific and memorable characters.

  • Kullen Burnet: You Have Earned Bonus Stars

    A beautiful, gripping and heartbreaking drama. A shot to the heart really, which is probably something Vincent would say (you’ll get it when you read it). Every character from top to bottom feels real and lived in, to the point where it's almost painful to read so many open wounds on the page, just trying to just be alive amidst tragedy. And yet theirs also moments of compassion, camaraderie and genuine laughs amongst the sprawling Americana Gatton illustrates so well for the reader. This play definitely earns its bonus stars.
