  • AWARDS & REVIEWS

    broken image

    Skylight -

    Barrymore Award for Outstanding Direction

    "A play can't get much more intimate... Geneviève Perrier makes a remarkable Kyra. Peter DeLaurier is masterful."
    –Philadephia Inquirer

    "Compelling direction and a pair of richly textured performances... stunning production!" –Broad Street Review [More]

    "Brilliant writing, brilliant theater. Gritty and beautiful." –WRTI-FM

    "Three actors giving of themselves as honestly as they can... and I'm not sure I can think of a better reason to see a play." –Philadelphia Metro

    Gustave in the Lantern's production of "Heroes"

    Heroes -

    "All three men are very likable, and all three actors play them well. Kern's performance is the most enjoyable, largely because the script gives Gustave the most opportunity to be dynamic and witty... The audience was in stitches throughout the performance.

    Broad Street Review
