Forty-Two Stories Reviews
Chicago Reader- Somewhat Recommended
"...Scott Westerman's City Lit Theatre production is at its most fun when it gives insight into the inner workings of the business, particularly its awkward positioning between office and residential life. Alongside a broad B story about a building manager prepared to go full-blown Gloria (more literally than is comfortable in an otherwise light whodunit yarn), a more perfunctory romance narrative pumps the brakes on the comedy throughout."

"...I think the audience for this play is older, lives in a condominium, and enjoys a quasi-satire disguised as a plodding bildungsroman with disgruntled "characters" who gossip about purportedly well-to-do manic-depressants. Aside from the titillating, pedestrian pleasure of hearing about (and seeing) people more screwed-up than oneself and the lukewarm feeling of seeing a young man with a part in his hair make a start at life, I can think of nothing else entertaining about this play."
Third Coast Review- Somewhat Recommended
"...The acting is spotty, with a few solid performances. Annie Hogan stands out as Alice Biasco, the on-the-edge building manager who is armed and dangerous as she deals with complaints from owners. Among the custodial staff, Reginald K. Robinson Jr. as Timothy and Paul Chakrin as Ross are most believable. Robinson is particularly engaging in both delivery and fluid movement."

"...Although Biasco's trials and tribulations are mostly played for laughs, there is a current of tension, of desperation, that underscores her every seen and sticks with you after the play has ended. As she herself wonders about the people she serves: "Did they come into the building insane, or did it make them insane?""
