"...Ann Filmer's direction is as nuanced and nicely paced as the script, as are all of the performances in this solid ensemble piece."

"...The four actors that make these characters become very real are Christian Stokes as Emery, the youngest, often referred to as “KID”, Noah Simon, as Bell, the true “everyman” of the piece. Bell lives his life, as expected, doing nothing out of the norm, and just wanting to go from day -to- day, making it to the next one. Mark Pracht is a powerful Lanfield, the owner of the car in which these men start their journey and share their lives with each other, and us."

"...the four actors are, of course, the pillars on whom the play rests, and each provides a full portrait of a man mired in his own different kind of frustration. While Bell may be the most conventionally likeable, each has petty weaknesses and aspirations we can easily identify with. Spencer, in particular, does stand-out work, as he not only plays Henkin, but also has to transform himself into several other characters who are treated seriously by the narrative. Wisely, he and Filmer have not attempted to be completely illusionary with this, but give us a good enough idea of a bartender and a close relative of each of the other characters for us to understand how they relate to each other."

"...Four chairs are the car-probably not unlike how many in the audience played car and driver as children. These four talented actors -Stephen Spencer, Mark Pracht, Noah Simon and Christian Stokes-evoke not only every curve and bump in the road, but also every nuance of the ever-present power struggles in the twists and turns of their conversations."

"...The plot of “Blizzard ’67,” built around the monster winter storm that paralyzed Chicago fifty years ago, would not be out of place in a classic Western. Neither would its rigidly macho protagonists. The play is about what happens when the rules of civilization are snowed under and character is revealed. Stripped down to essentials, the men display not true grit but rather false bluster and panicky emptiness, which would seem to be the playwright’s comment on the American male condition, at least in his father’s generation."
