A tremendous production with wonderfully compelling characters and a familiar yet unique family story. Many tears were shed onstage and in the audience! Also, the artistic team made excellent use of the challenging space.

An engaging, well-acted play that dealt in a very real ways with some of the difficult dynamics of family and faith. My compliments to all involved in this production.
