Spoon River Anthology
Saint Sebastian Players at St. Bonaventure Church

Chicago Reader- Recommended

"...Bittersweet monologues teem with unfinished business--recriminations, regrets, moot repentance, and occasional gratitude for gifts they wasted or that wasted them. Jonathan Hagloch's staging uses period images and bluegrass music to give sight and sound to memory. Homespun, no-nonsense performances provide poignant postmortems. We should all get such eloquent last words."

NewCity Chicago- Recommended

"...The production has its flaws. The lighting design often puts performers in the dark, the musical numbers could be better miked, and director Jonathan Hagloch’s staging is a bit stagnant. But Hagloch’s adaptation flows with the right mixture of comedy and tragedy and the game cast’s raw energy works. Ensemble members Alisa Marier and Eric Prahl bring affable, varied approaches to their characters. They’re regular people, telling the sad, funny stories of regular people."
