Chicago Theatre Review- Highly Recommended
"...Finally, I just want to heap unreserved praise on Cameli and Castle. They were great. The physical transitions could easily have read as hokey or stagey and they do not. They found a common language for portraying both parents that made them feel like they came from a common source, but are portrayed through each child’s unique experience. And in their final scene, the structure that I questioned at the start of the show paid off in spades, as it formed the connective tissue for a quietly, but deeply moving resolution."

"...James Still's play is a snapshot of a family in three scenes. It opens on David Cameli playing Billy, Billy's Mom and Billy's Dad. They're coping with their son's "lifestyle choices" and his marriage to a man named Michael. Later Bailey Castle steps out as Barbara, Barbara's Mom and Barbara's Dad. Although the siblings share parents, they do not share the same experience of them. Each sees their parents in a different light."
