“ The clash between high art and commerce is played out with unabashed ardor in this thought-provoking play. The characters, many of them on the downhill side of middle age, struggle to preserve their dignity (and livelihoods) in a brave new world that no longer values their intelligence or accrued knowledge. A great piece for a theatre company with seasoned, older actors, ‘Capriccio Radio’ will speak to a cultured audience that feels its tastes have been relegated to dinosaur status, but also to a new generation that wishes to learn about and appreciate the great music that is our collective legacy. ”

“ “A Moment of Clarity” beautifully captures a brief, but very real moment between an elderly father sinking into dementia and his 60-something son. Anyone who has watched a beloved parent deteriorate will relate, but the real message of this lovely play may be that, no matter how old, we are always children in need of guidance and protection in our parents’ eyes, and our parents will always be our first heroes, no matter how imperfect or complicated our relationship with them may have been. ”

“ Dickens plays fast and loose with reality and expectations (and the space-time continuum) in this hilarious comedy about alternative scenarios of what we think we want, the choices we do and do not make, and the inevitability of those choices. A crackerjack reading at the Midwest Dramatists Conference kept the audience guessing--and laughing. ”

“ A beautifully restrained play about an unlikely friendship formed during a short ride on the Staten Island Ferry. The very real characters open up to each other with tentative caution at first, until the empathy that unfolds blooms. The playwright implicitly understands her characters and it shows in each measured line of dialogue. ”
