Published Reviews

"...a theatrical piece [that] proves to be a most satisfying theatrical experience for audiences...quietly powerful."

BroadwayWorld

"IF ALL THE SKY WERE PAPER says loudly what needs to be said. It explodes with humanity – humor, dread, pride, wisdom…. If war is hell, this show is a little slice of heaven."
