"The issue of broken dreams in small town America is often tackled on stage, but As Wide As I Can See brings new ideas to the conversation... in a kind of modern male version of Mrs. Dalloway."

 Huffington Post

"An emotional journey through the up and downs of relationships, employment, roots and self-identity."
