On Stage
Acclaim for The Back Porch Players’ 2011 productions:
“The Back Porch Players gives Parks’s expressionistic tale a startling, sterling production.”
“Frighteningly superb theater”
“Exemplary cast”
“With her raw, sharp-edged poetry, Parks slaps you, then kisses you wildly, while Garvey smashes the hurt right in your face. You stand stunned, not knowing how to respond. This isn’t life, this is potent, once-in-a-blue-moon theater.”
-D.L. Groover, HOUSTON PRESS
“Thanks to the expert direction of Nicholas Collins and the finely-honed skills of The Back Porch Players, it will be forever emblazoned not only in my mind, but in those of many Houston theater fans as well.”
-Theodore Bale, CultureMap
“These plays get under your skin. At the same time, you’re laughing uncontrollably.”
-Theodore Bale, CultureMap
“With Allen’s comic genius and flair for the absurd details of human behavior, the results are consistently funny.”
-Everett Evans, Houston Chronicle
“Two rarely produced gems from a master provide an evening of comic irreverence and surprising insights that make for a perfect pairing. The run is short but the pleasure long– see it if you can.”
-Jim Tommaney, Houston Press
