“ A love story in the midst of war, tragedy and youth. B and H are all of us as they awkwardly navigate their own connection until the world creeps in, even though they do a fine job tearing themselves asunder all on their own. ARCHIPELAGO is a vivid, epic, intimate poem between two stumbling souls. It's sweet, it's sad, it's innocent and world-weary all in the exact same breath. Svich shows who we are and how we keep hurting each other as we try to make sense of it all. And how we rise to come together when it counts. ”

“ A hilarious and knowing insider's look behind the scenes of a stage. Sickles deftly balances the complicated attractions - the narrator and playwright Harvest, director Edwina and veteran performer Mike. Virtually everyone is in love with young Buck. Characters are, refreshingly, consistently inconsistent. Actors, directors and stage managers in particular will enjoy Sickles' knowing winks that the true drama goes on between and beneath the dialogue. Particularly funny is Edwina's blatant attempt to partner Mike and Harvest, and their ensuing reactions. Sickles brands this a mockumentary, but really, he captures experiences which are all too true. A genuinely perfect scream. ”

“ "Actual carpet is unnecessary." A pause to reflect on relationships, particularly the downside, in the midst of a depressing setting, and it's glorious to watch Goldman-Sherman work. Her words come forth like poetry - the motel desk clerk, the cheating husband, the woman who decides maybe she doesn't want to help him cheat. All as familiar as a heartbeat, but told in the style only Goldman-Sherman can. The characters don't apologize for their sadness, no. They own it. And they hope for a better outcome the next time around. Moving, smart, sad, funny and tremendously heartfelt. ”

“ Irresistible! Hiett offers strong roles, particularly for two 70something actresses, and a story that feels like a classic. Nobody is completely right nor completely wrong in this tale of a Harper Lee-ish novelist, and the playwright resists resorting to the expected characterizations, favoring instead complicated, flawed heroines and heroes, which is infinitely more interesting and clever. As I read, I kept contacting local actresses in my area to let them know that this was simply a script they had to read. A powerhouse play for powerhouse performers ... rearrange your theatrical schedule to make room for a production, pronto. ”
