REVIEWS:

"An important and entertaining work."

Bob Heisler, The Journal News

"Paolollo's new play is a magical, exhilarating flight of endearing wonder into the heart of defiant youth through the core of ageless innocence, by way of the haunting shore of regret to the triumphs of rebirth, love, and forgiveness... Destined to become a classic."
