Buddy Cop 2 presented by Pavement Group at Theater Wit

Chicago Reader - Highly Recommended

"...director Cassy Sanders has assembled a pitch-perfect team of artists and production staff-Megan Truscott's scenic design, for example, brilliantly creates the illusion of space within a tiny black-box theater. But the three who deserve the most praise are the trio at the center of the story: Cyd Blakewell, Gabriel Franken, and Joe Zarrow, playing three small-minded but well-meaning small-town cops, each of whom wants desperately to turn the story of a young girl dying of a mysterious disease at Christmas into a heartwarming made-for-TV movie."

Stage and Cinema - Not Recommended

"...Despite the hard work by director Oliver Butler and his four ready-to-roll actors, this slice of whatever is just too tedious to be funny and too forced to be scary. A narrated epilogue takes us into the future (or up to the present), but by then it doesn’t matter since we never cared about the past. Whether in the past, present or future, you don’t have to be there."

The Fourth Walsh - Somewhat Recommended

"...If this play has a theme, it’s subversion. From the ‘80s title, which implies an action-, comedy-heavy story, to the friendly small town where nothing really happens (until it does), Buddy Cop 2 accurately has the indecisive tagline of: Nothing Is As It Seems. Or Is it?"
