Post Review
"Providence
Players' 'Time of Your Life' Night to Remember"
Company
The
Washington Post Review
"From Providence Players,
'Company' Worth Keeping"
I Never Sang for My
Father
The
Washington Post Review
- “Susan Devine knows how to let a scene breathe
easily… But she also knows when to let it rip, to
unleash emotion built up and nurtured during quieter
moments. The result is a satisfying production of Robert
Anderson's drama.”
