— Time Out Chicago, Kris Vire
“Highly respected local director Kimberly Senior makes her Goodman debut with this play. It's a piece that not only challenges the talented young director but, as a mother and career woman herself, speaks to her in many ways. Ms. Senior has staged this play alternately with a comfortable style and brisk pacing, knowing precisely when to slow down the tempo in order to drive a point home.”
— Chicago Theatre Review, Colin Douglas
“Under the masterful direction of Kimberly Senior, the flipflopping attitudes make for hilarity and thoughtprovoking banter.”
— The 4th Walsh, Katy Walsh
“Senior’s cast is exceptional, from first to last.”
— Chicago Theatre Review, Colin Douglas

— The 4th Walsh, Katy Walsh
