"Clearly, they've torn down the fourth wall here long before the Berlin Wall will go up. This isn't a show for the shy. ... Director David A. VanCleave's brave & attractive young cast strikes the right balance between flirtatiously interacting with the audience and telling the show's fully fleshed-out story."
-Michael Morain, Des Moines Register
"in an immersive 360° production...dramatic blocking often sets up cross-the-room interplay. As the Nazi hymn swells along the bar, at the wall opposite, a person of Jewish descent stands staring, aghast."
