Boy Small presented by The Fine Print Theatre Company at Red Tape Theatre - St. Peter's Episcopal Church

Chicago Stage Review - Recommended

"...Boy Small is an ugly show, as the subject matter absolutely demands. Boy Small may go light on some of the terrible details of what Christian Choate had to endure, it may allow the audience a bit too much emotional detachment, but, then again, it is difficult to gauge exactly how much more gut-wrenching this show could be before no one could bear to watch it."

Time Out Chicago - Highly Recommended

"...It should be clear by this point that this is not a comfortable play. As a whole, it’s dark and murky, but with a streak of humor that compounds its visceral effect: Deanna Moffitt’s various “Outsiders,” including the nosy neighbor who gave the family her cage and an absurdly overworked social worker, provide some of the most effective examples of this tension. It’s those contradictions that elevate Boy Small from wallowing to good theater."

Chicago Theatre Review - Recommended

"...Boy Small is a very engrossing telling of a true tragedy, but doesn't paint it as such. The play simply tries to turn monsters into people. It questions the assumptions made in a terrible situation such as Christian Choate's murder, but doesn't shy away from some of the stereotypes that surround a small town, trailer park family. Fine Print Theatre's production of Boy Small is a look from the outside at the case of a brutally murdered boy to question how we can make sense of something so horrific."
